Justice for 9/11 Act

HR 296, the "Justice for 9/11 Act," modifies legal procedures for three specific defendants accused of the September 11, 2001, attacks: Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi. The bill ensures their plea agreements for the 9/11 attacks cannot block military commission trials under Title 10, makes the death penalty available in those trials, and mandates they remain in solitary confinement at Guantanamo Bay under strict conditions - no contact with foreigners, limited psychological care, and no transfer to the U.S. or other countries. It directly affects only these three individuals and their legal proceedings, not the general public. The bill changes existing legal pathways for their trial and confinement, not broader policy.
