The US detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, opened way back in 2002. For the first time since then, the White House has allowed a United Nations independent investigator to visit. Fionnuala Ní Aoláin is a law professor and human rights investigator. She recently spent four days visiting the prison at Guantanamo, and joins The World’s Marco Werman to talk about what she saw there.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
