‘US OUT OF GUANTANAMO’

The recent 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution marks 50 years of the people of Cuba fighting back against imperialist attacks on their country as they strive for a better world. One of the injustices the US government has imposed against Cuba is their occupation of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which the US government has used to house a prison infamous for torture and holding prisoners without a fair trial. This forum will discuss the US occupation of Guantanamo Bay, and why we should demand ‘US out of Guantanamo.’
