Call for the Closure of Guantanamo
Human rights violations continue at Guantanamo Bay and we need your help now. This past weekend three detainees reportedly committed suicide at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, highlighting the tragic results of extended arbitrary and indefinite detention.
With many of the approximately 460 men detained in Guantanamo well into their fifth year of detention, the vast majority without charge or trial, a growing number have resorted to desperate measures such as hunger strikes and suicide attempts.
It’s time to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Send a message to President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld http://tinyurl.com/f775v and ask them to:
- close the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay and not transfer the lawlessness to another location,
- conduct an independent investigation into the deaths of the three detainees, and
- end the policy of indefinite and arbitrary detention of alleged terrorism suspects.
After you submit your letter, please be sure to tell your friends and family to do the same. The time to act is now. There is no better time with news of these apparent suicides fresh on the Administration’s conscience.
As always, thank you for your commitment to preserving human rights around the world.
