Freed Gitmo Prisoners Found Advocacy, Support Group
---------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile, several former Guantanamo Bay prisoners have founded a group
to help other freed prisoners deal with life after their release and
lobby for those still jailed. The Guantanamo Justice Center says it
hopes to help the hundreds of freed prisoners find work and obtain
medical treatment to deal with their ordeal. It will also try to sue
former Bush administration officials for authorizing torture. The
group’s founders include the Al Jazeera journalist Sami al-Haj, who was
jailed at Guantanamo for more than six years.
