We continue our conversation with Amnesty International USA executive director Paul O'Brien, who has written to President Joe Biden urging him for a number of policy changes before he leaves office in January. O'Brien's letter calls for Biden to stop arms transfers to Israel and use U.S. leverage to end the war in Gaza; transfer detainees out of the Guantánamo Bay military prison and close the facility; commute the death sentences of people on federal and military death row; and restore asylum rights, which the administration severely curtailed this year. "He could do so much more," O'Brien says of Biden's last weeks in office.
