Your government puts people in jail on the
merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them
indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.
30% of Guantanamo detainees continue to languish in the US military torture chamber despite being cleared to leave. 22 of them are to be freed completely, meaning they suffered through torture with little or no access to lawyers to prove their innocence. The remaining 119 are to be transferred to the control of their home governments, and as we know from the practice of “rendition”, often this resorts in torture at the hands of another government.
Think about it. 141 people are held for years without charges or due process at the behest of President Bush, subject to torture and inhumane treatment, and now when there’s finally some hope of an end to this, the government continues to hold them. Will allow this to be done in the name of your “safety”? Or will you resist?
The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
