With public readings of the play Guantánamo: ‘Honor Bound to Defend Freedom’ the Guantánamo Reading Project focuses attention on the shameful and unlawful detentions at the U.S. naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The project’s goal is to encourage local debate and action to support the remaining detainees’ habeas rights to challenge their detentions in federal court, as upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2004.
