Shut Gitmo Down

Last week marked the 6th anniversary of the opening of Guantanamo Bay Prison - a no-man's land of suspended constitutional rights and indefinite imprisonment.

A group of nearly 40 activists traveled downtown to express their outrage at this un-American institution. Check out the Pegasus News coverage of the event here.

The same day, a U.S. Appeals court dismissed a lawsuit from four former detainees of Guantanamo, finding that U.S. law did not protect the U.S. base, nor its prisoners, from religious abuses and torture. Read the full report from the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) here.

CCR also features an entire page devoted to information about Guantanamo and ways to get involved, including petitions and informational videos. To find out more, visit the page here.
