Picture Set Of The Month - March - Paintings by Khalid Qasim

Khalid Qasim (born 1977) is a former Yemeni citizen
who is one of the few still resident in Guantanamo bay.

He is one of three prisoners in the camp.
At present his art is the only part of him
that is able to travel. 

Under President Barak Obama prisoners in Guantanamo
became entitled to paper and drawing and painting
 materials.

Word got out to the world and their paintings travelled
in exhibitions, as prisoners left they were allowed
to take their painting with them.

Under President Trump more prisoners were
released, but the FBI impounded their artwork
and limited it being shown-they were suspicious
that it might 'hold clues' they should keep secret.
Joe Biden has so far not reversed the order
of his predecessor. He has not let the prisoners
decide what to do with their art.
