THE HUB: Guatanamo Bay Detainee Released
After being held in captivity without trial for almost seven years, on Monday February 23rd, Binyam Mohamed was released from Guatanamo Bay Detention Center. Binyam's lawyer in the UK writes: "I spent two hours today walking with Binyam, the first time he has gone more than 5 feet without shackles in 7 years." Later, Binyam watched "Outlawed," a WITNESS produced video, that features Binyam's story. This was the first time Binyam had watched the video.
