Two of the most talented artists in Guantánamo, Moath Al-Alwi and Khalid Qassim, resettled in Oman in January after being held for nearly 23 years without charge or trial, discuss their artwork and their memories of Guantánamo with their friend, the former prisoner Mansoor Adayfi. Both men’s work has featured in various art exhibitions of prisoners’ art over the last eight years, in the US and in Europe, and Moath’s vast sailing ships, made from recycled and scavenged materials, attra...| Andy Worthington
Photos from, and my report about the 31st coordinated monthly global vigils for the closure of the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay, which took place across the US and in London, Brussels, Mexico City and Belgrade on August 6, 2025.

Photos from, and my report about the 30th coordinated monthly global vigils for the closure of the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay that took place across the US and in London, Brussels, Mexico City and Belgrade on July 2, 2025.
