A powerful, ground-breaking decision has just been issued in the international legal case HRiP brought on behalf of Abu Zubaydah against the United States, Thailand, Poland, Morocco, Lithuania, Afghanistan and United Kingdom.
The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, in a decision made public on 28 April 2023, reached damning findings on the unlawfulness of Guantanamo, torture and disappearance by the US, and 6 other states that share 'joint responsibility' for the ongoing violations of our client's rights. The Working Group calls for Abu Zubaydah's immediate release, rehabilitation and compensation, and the investigation of what it terms "crimes against humanity."
