Anti-torture activists rallied in Washington, D.C., Tuesday to mark the ninth anniversary of the opening of the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The protest was led by 173 people wearing hoods and jumpsuits to represent the 173 men still imprisoned at Guantánamo. After gathering outside the White House, the protesters marched to the U.S. Department of Justice where they held a blockade. Protests were also held in a number of cities including Chicago, where 10 people were arrested outside the Federal Building. The group, Witness Against Torture, organized the actions to kick off an 11-day liquid-only fast by more than 100 members nationwide. Two years ago next week, President Obama signed an executive order promising to close Guantánamo within a year.
