Christmas in Guantanamo

Jeff/Indy | 09.12.2005 04:33 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Social Struggles | World

After four long years, David Hicks - and scores of others - have been confined in steel cages in Guantanamo Bay, without trial or charge. Here in Australia, draconian anti-terror laws abolish some of our most cherished freedoms, and give ASIO and the Australian Federal Police carte blanche to treat the Islamic community like criminals.

*CHRISTMAS AT GUANTANAMO BAY*
*SOLIDARITY WITH VICTIMS OF TERROR LAWS - AT HOME AND ABROAD*

AUSTRALIA:CAN/CUBA: For most people, Christmas means the freedom to spend time with your friends and loved ones. But for the inmates of Guantanamo Bay, and for the victims of Australia's terror laws, this Christmas will be one of injustice, isolation,uncertainty ... even torture.
