Not
Another Broken Promise! Not Another Day in Guantánamo! Demonstration
23 May, 12-2pm,
Trafalgar Square, London
On 23 May 2013, at
the height of media focus on the ongoing hunger strike at Guantánamo Bay,
Barack Obama made another promise to close the prison camp. In spite of
positive measures in that time, such as the release of 12 prisoners, 154
prisoners remain, almost all of whom have been held without charge or trial for
over 12 years.
With an ongoing
hunger strike and daily human rights abuses against prisoners, the Obama
administration continues to demonstrate that it has no interest in justice or freedom.
As part of an
international day of action coordinated by Witness Against Torture
(USA), the London Guantánamo invites you to join us for a demonstration to
remind the US government and the mainstream media that Guantánamo prisoners do
not only matter when politicians care to notice. These prisoners, including
South London Shaker Aamer suffer injustice and indignity every day and have
done so for over 12 years. Enough is enough…Not another broken promise! Not
another day in Guantánamo!

Day of Action is coordinated by Witness Against Torture in collaboration with
Amnesty International, Blue Lantern Project, the Center for Constitutional
Rights, CloseGitmo.net, Code Pink, London Guantánamo Campaign, the National
