Join Amnesty in Calling for the Closure of Guantanamo Bay

Rachel Brand | 06.03.2008 11:32

The University of Nottingham Amnesty Society will be staging a protest calling for the closure of Guantanamo Bay on Sunday 9 March 2008 from 12-2pm at Long Row, Nottingham City Centre.

Amnesty International UK has been consistently campaigning for the closure of the illegal detention centre since it first opened on 11 January 2002. To this date no Guantánamo detainee has been convicted of a criminal offence by the USA. 10 detainees were charged for trial by military commissions, which were then ruled unlawful by the US Supreme Court.

About 775 detainees have been held in Guantánamo since its opening. Prisoners have been taken into custody in at least 10 countries before being transferred to Guantánamo without any judicial process. The University of Nottingham Amnesty Society has joined Amnesty International UK in its arduous campaign and this will be the second protest in the City Centre on the matter.

At last years protest the Amnesty Society collected almost one thousand signatures on a petition that was sent to the American Embassy. It is expected that there will be a large turnout of students voicing their opposition to the detention centre this Sunday. Please come and show us your support.

Oops a clash

Pity you chose this time and date as it clashes with the CND event in the Market square and I guess many who would be at that would like to be at the close Guantanamo event.
