The London Guantánamo Campaign invites you to join
us at
THE TORTURE TRAP
a solidarity vigil in support of victims of torture
on
UN International Day in Support of Victims of
Torture
At 5.30-7pm, on Friday 26 June 2015
outside the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square
Torture
is a life sentence without a judge or a jury. It is not used to obtain a
reliable confession but to break the tortured individual and serve as an
example to others. The physical and mental trauma of torture continues to haunt
the lives of victims, and often their families and communities, long after the
physical pain has ended. Where torture is used in a systematic and widespread
manner, whole societies can be traumatised.
Torture
survivors have a right to rehabilitation, yet for many, there is often little
official recognition of what they have suffered.
The
London Guantánamo Campaign invites you to join us and stand in recognition of
the suffering and rights of victims and survivors of torture: a humane gesture
alien to many in positions of power able to put an end to the use of torture.
ALL ARE WELCOME

The
London Guantánamo has been campaigning since 2006 for the return of all British
residents from the Guantánamo Bay prison camp, the release of all prisoners,
the closure of this prison and other similar prisons and an end to the practice
of extraordinary rendition. Human rights for all.
