Rally to Close Guantánamo Bay
For the past five years, the US Government has detained hundreds of men in Guantánamo Bay, denying them their rights under US and international law. The detention facility at Guantánamo Bay must be closed.
All detainees should either be charged and tried in accordance with international fair trial standards or released unconditionally.
On Thursday, January 11, Amnesty International activists around the country and the world will mark the fifth anniversary of the first transfer of detainees to Guantánamo Bay by holding public actions demanding that the detention facility be closed.
