Andy Worthington and Kristina Borjesson make return visits to the Project Censored Show to update listeners on their work. Journalist and activist Andy Worthington, a long-time campaigner for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, shares what he’s learned about conditions for the men still locked up there as Gitmo passes its 18th year in operation.

She also explains her new project, a podcast by and for whistleblowers called The Whistleblower Newsroom.
