Protesters wearing orange jump-suits and black hoods marched in Washington DC Jan. 11 to mark 10 years since the opening of the military prison at Guantánamo Bay. The grimly attired demonstrators marched down Pennsylvania Ave. from the White House, past the Capitol building, before finishing at the Supreme Court. Thrity-seven members of Witness Against Torture were arrested in a civil disobedience action at the White House. Nearly 800 prisoners have been through the military detention center over the past decade, and 171 currently remain. A handful face military tribunals that rights groups say fall short of international standards for justice; many more remain in legal limbo. Amnesty International marked the anniversary by stating that US practices at Guantánamo "continue to inflict serious damage on global respect for human rights."
