I keep an eye out on news clips on Guantanamo Bay ever since news about the prison broke. And I was quite affected by the book "For God and Country" by Chaplain James Yee. The blatant violation of human rights by withholding detainees without being charged or put on trial, is unbelievable. The accounts related in the book on the treatment the detainees receive, is inhumane.
There is now a global petition to close Guantanamo. I hope you will help end this injustice by signing up here: www.avaaz.org/en/close_guantanamo
Who's organising this petition? Avaaz.org is a community of global citizens who take action on the major issues facing the world today. Its aim is to ensure that the views and values of the world’s people -- and not just political elites and unaccountable corporations -- shape global decisions. Avaaz.org members are taking action for a more just and peaceful world and a vision of globalization with a human face. Avaaz means voice in a variety of Asian, Middle Eastern and European languages. There are already 1 million people from 182 countries that form the Avaaz.org community.
You can help make a difference.
