September 11, 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the worst attacks in the history of the United States, carried out in 2001. Relatives of the victims continue to live with the pain of loss, aggravated by the uncertainty regarding justice that never came.
The relatives publicly complain about the delay in bringing the perpetrators of the attacks to justice. Many of those involved remain imprisoned at the naval base in Guantánamo, Cuba, without having been tried.
The main target of criticism is the trial against the alleged mastermind of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has been in detention for more than two decades without trial.
The delay in legal proceedings contrasts with the promise of accountability made to the families, who have been waiting for a quarter of a century for answers and convictions.
