Call to action: Close Guantanamo!
Jan 15, 2010
Jan 11- Jan 22, 2010
(posting this a little late, but the action is still going on!)
On January 22, 2009, President Obama committed to closing the prison camp at Guantanamo within a year. It is with resolute and heavy hearts that Witness Against Torture invites you to go to Washington, D.C. to mark January 11 as the start of the eighth year of torture, abuse, and illegal detention at Guantanamo. We will call attention to the Obama administration's hypocrisy, expose the injustice of its policies, and demand again that the facility at Guantanamo be immediately closed. A fast and daily vigil will be held from January 11 through January 22 – the day by which the President had ordered Guantanamo closed – and we will engage in a series of events and actions opposing Guantanamo and torture. We invite you to go to Washington and participate, or else join or plan an event in your own community.
