Close Guantanamo Now! Print E-mail

Thursday 11 January is the 5th anniversary of the arrival of the first prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. At least 430 people of more than 35 nationalities continue to be held there: without charge, and with little hope of obtaining a fair trial. At least 10 of them are from Britain - refugees who have been living in Britain but don't have British passports. The British government won't help them, but for most of them there is no one else to turn to. Enough is enough! Guantanamo detainees must be released immediately unless they are to be charged and given a fair trial.
