The Guantanamo Bay detention facility opened in the aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, according to Al Jazeera.
Twenty-five years later, the war that followed the invasion has ended, but the prison remains open, raising continued questions about its purpose and future.
The available report does not detail the current number of detainees, the legal status of ongoing cases, or specific plans, if any, for the facility's closure.
Guantanamo has remained a subject of debate among policymakers and human rights observers over the years regarding detention practices and due process.
