| Sommario/riassunto: | This book presents the artwork and testimony of Moath Hamza Ahmed al-Alwi, a Yemeni citizen who has been detained without charge at Guantánamo Bay since 2002. It showcases his development as an artist and details the harsh conditions of his detention, including solitary confinement and degrading treatment, which are explored in the context of human rights violations. The volume draws on contributions from individuals who have interacted with Moath, including his attorney and a former fellow detainee, providing insights into the oppressive environment and the complex process of sharing his art and experiences with the public. Intended for readers interested in human rights, legal studies, and art as a form of resistance, this work highlights the intersection of culture and human rights advocacy. |
