How to do it

Abu Zubaydah, whose 40 drawings document the CIA torture detailed in the story, remains held at Guantanamo without charge; UN human rights experts formally called for his release in Jan. 2025. Use the official contact links on CloseGuantanamo.org -- White House (whitehouse.gov/contact), U.S. Senators (senate.gov/senators/contact), and U.S. Representatives (house.gov/representatives) -- to urge your own senators, representative, and the administration to support closing the prison and transferring/releasing remaining detainees, including Zubaydah.
