Justice for 9/11 Act
This bill ensures that Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi - detainees held at Guantanamo Bay for their alleged roles in the September 11, 2001, attacks - remain subject to military trial under Chapter 47A of Title 10, United States Code, regardless of any plea agreements they may have entered. It explicitly allows the death penalty as a sentencing option in their trials and mandates strict confinement conditions: solitary confinement at Guantanamo Bay, no contact with foreign nationals, no unauthorized psychological treatment, and no transfer to the U.S. mainland or any other country. The bill directly affects only these three individuals and modifies procedural and sentencing rules for their specific cases.
