Forty-three of the Supreme Court demonstrators have pled “not guilty” to charges of “unlawful free speech” and “causing a harangue” at the Court on January 11. They will continue their protest during the trial itself, entering the names of the Guantanamo inmates and justifying their acts as defenses of the U.S. Constitution, international law, and human rights. They will call expert witnesses - from lawyers of the detainees to U.S. Judge Advocate Generals critical of detention policies - to document the abuses at Guantanamo.

At 7:45 am on Tuesday, May 27, those facing trial and their supporters will walk in orange jumpsuits and black hoods bearing the names of Guantanamo inmates from the U.S. Supreme Court (Maryland Avenue and First Street) to the D.C. Municipal Court (Carl Moultrie Court House 500 Indiana, Ave NW) where their trial will take place.

At 8:30 am, a brief press conference will begin outside the Municipal Court. Individuals facing trial, as well as expert witnesses, will address the media.

The trial will begin at 9:30. The press is invited to attend the proceedings.
