In October 2011 the Berkeley City Council passed a Resolution to close Guantanamo Prison and welcome cleared-for-release detainees to settle in Berkeley.
This makes Berkeley the first city in the U.S. to welcome detainees. Djamel Ameziane is a famous Algerian-born European-trained chef who the U.S. cleared for release in 2008, but he’s still stuck in Guantanamo.
To find out more about Djamel Ameziane’s current status and to donate to his resettlement fund please contact:
