Stop the Spread of Guantanamitis

guantananamo event

Date: Sat 3 October 2009

To celebrate the new legal year we are holding a demonstration on behalf of the 229 Guantanamo detainees to show that much still needs to be done to free them from illegal detention.

Please join us and hold one of the 229 placards to show your solidarity for the detainees. There will also be speechs by lawyers and human rights campaigners on Guantanamo Bay and also the far-reaching influence that Guantanamo has had on international law. So let's try and stop the spread of Guantanamitis on 3 October.
