Launch of London Guantánamo Campaign weekly demonstration outside US Embassy

London Guantánamo Campaign | 14.02.2007 17:32 | Terror War | London

The London Guantánamo Campaign started its weekly demonstration outside the US Embassy calling for the detention and torture camp to be closed down



The London Guantánamo Campaign kicked off its weekly demonstrations outside the American Embassy in Mayfair, London, at 6pm on Friday 9 February. Around twenty people braved the cold and held banners and shouted slogans calling for Guantánamo to be shut down. Campaigners from other organisations including Amnesty International and CAMPACC also took part. The demonstrators are calling for the closure of the detention camp at Guantánamo Bay and for all the men held there to either be charged and put on trial or released to countries where they will not face further abuse. There is no excuse for five years of torture and arbitrary detention as the world sits by and watches. The London Guantánamo Campaign will be outside the American Embassy every Friday evening from 6-7pm calling for Guantánamo Bay to be closed down and for torture and arbitrary detention in the war on terror to end.

If you’re on your way home from work, on your way out or have nothing better to do, please come and join us. Bring your banners and groups.

Every Friday outside the US Embassy, Grosvenor Square, Mayfair, W1 (nearest tube: Marble Arch) at 6-7pm

No to torture, no to arbitrary detention and no detention without trial or charge.
