S 4946 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Justice for 9/11 Act

This bill ensures that three individuals accused of involvement in the 9/11 attacks - Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa al Hawsawi - remain subject to trial under military law for the 9/11 attacks, regardless of any prior plea agreements. It makes the death penalty available in their trials and mandates they be held in solitary confinement at Guantanamo Bay under strict conditions: no contact with foreigners, limited medical care, and no transfer to the U.S. mainland or other countries. The bill directly affects only these three detainees by overriding previous legal barriers to their trial and imposing specific, restrictive detention requirements.
