Guantánamo visits the National Conventions


© AI Torture can never be justified

With all eyes on Denver this week, the Guantánamo cell tour makes a stop outside the Democratic National Convention to bring the issues of torture and illegal detention front and center.

After touring just four cities, thousands have visited the life size replica of a prison cell at Guantánamo Bay. Check out the cell tour blog for images and video.

But we need your help to continue touring the cell until Guantánamo is closed.

"Myself, my son Mohammed and my wife Asma thank all Amnesty International members for supporting me and for supporting human rights. We will work hard with them together until we achieve peace for all people in the world. I will never forget their help and I will pray for them. I ask them to keep praying for me also. I will be glad if they continue their relationship with me, are in touch with me in my life and help me with my new job."
