As per MyInforms.com website, the parents and loved ones of the victims have died without attending one trial. The call for justice has been long overdue as it was reported that the proceedings for the terrorist attacks may not start until 2020.
In regards to President Obama's response, Fox News reported that Obama made a promise to make an effort in closing the detention camps at Guantanamo Bay.
"Some of those folks are going through the military commission process. But there's going to be a challenge there, I pledge to you that the nation will never forget, will never lose interest, and your government will continue to pursue justice under law for however long that takes."
As per Fox News, 14 rounds of pre-trial hearings already took place, and an additional of 6 hearings would take place in 2016. One of the victims from the attacks, Adam Arias was crushed and killed in the collapse of a building in Manhattan.
His sister Lorraine Arias-Beliveau told Fox that she doesn't want to die without getting a resolution in regards to the attacks.
"I am 66 years old. I don't want to die and then my children not see any resolution either, these five [9/11] co-conspirators must be brought to justice and I would like to see this in the new election. And why isn't it even on the table? Why is it not even a question? How did they forget? You want to lead the country -- everyone swore they wouldn't forget and they forgot!"
Charles Burlingame's brother, Brad, from Los Angeles, California, lost his life due to pancreatic cancer earlier this month. Charles was the pilot of Flight 77 who was killed by the hijackers by slashing his throat.
Despite losing both her brothers, Deborah Burlingame, who's been advocating from the families of the 9/11 victims stated that the problem does not solely lay on the military framework. Deborah pointed out that Jude James Pohl should share the blame as well. Despite the fact they they're being held captive as defendants, they were still allowed and given privileges such as getting softer pillows, wear battle outfits and pray inside the courtroom.
"Pray right there in the courtroom, to wear battle fatigues, to have a softer pillow on the bus drive ... this is jihad in the courtroom and Judge Pohl is letting them get away with it."
