Mar. 6, 2003 | ACLU-RDI 2404
Letter from Kenneth Roth, the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch to Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld asking that U.S. government release all detainees from Guantanamo Bay. Mr. Roth states detaining persons at Guantanamo Bay violates international law, specifically the Geneva Conventions, and argues that since the U.S. is no longer at war with Afghanistan (under the Taliban), and as such, all Afghan nationals should be released.
