Close
Guantanamo NOW Message More Relevant Than Ever
On Saturday, Day 115 of the prisoners’ hunger strike, we heard that the US had released a prisoner from Bagram, and two from Guantanamo back to their home country of Mauritania. We soon learned that only the prisoner in Bagram went home. Other than Omar Khadr (a child when he was captured and sent to GTMO), who was sent to Canada in 2012, no prisoners have been released since August of 2010. See Andy Worthington's stories of the Mauritanian prisoners, still waiting for justice.
It's Day 118 of the strike. Guantanamo is still open, no cleared prisoners have been released, and indefinite detention is the status quo under the Obama administration.
Our message Close Guantanamo NOW is more relevant than ever. It will appear in the July issue of The Progressive, and this week's edition of Revolution newspaper. We are seeking to publish it further internationally, and give blanket permission for any publication as long as worldcantwait.net is mentioned.
Please send your ideas, and your donations to
make that possible.
