Description
Mansoor Adayfi is a former Guantánamo detainee, coordinator of CAGE’s Guantánamo Project, and author. In his unforgettable, haunting memoir, Don’t Forget Us Here, he recounts his 14 years of detention, torture, resistance and brotherhood in the vile camps of Guantánamo. In this interview, Mansoor tells us how his living nightmare started, how faith, art and brotherhood sustained him, and how, amazingly, he’s held onto both his sense of humor and his hope for the future.  References: Buy Mansoor's book, Don't Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantánamo Muslim filmmakers and activists respond to Islamophobic Sundance film Jihad Rehab Seton Hall University's Guantánamo Reports Art from Guantánamo Support CAGE, advocates against the injustices of the War on Terror Amy Goodman's interview with Mansoor, who wears his signature orange Follow Mansoor on social media @MansoorAdayfi Follow us on Twitter.
