As the United States continues to grapple with its legacy at Guantánamo Bay, a poignant plea has been made by the mother of the last Afghan detainee still held at the notorious prison. Mohammad Rahim, who has been imprisoned without charge for over 15 years, has never been formally accused of a crime, sparking concerns about his indefinite detention. In a heart-wrenching appeal, his mother has begged former President Donald Trump to release her son, stating it is her "most earnest and final hope" to see him again before she passes away. With the Biden administration under increasing pressure to address the Guantánamo Bay detention center's remaining prisoners, will this emotional appeal be enough to bring closure to the Rahim family's long and difficult ordeal?
