Guantánamo Murder Scene

US Embassy, Grosvenor Square, London. Sat 18 May 2013

 
 
 'Starving for Justice'
      
 
      
 Today some of those at Guantanamo have been on Hunger strike for 101 days
      
  The US Eagle and flag fly above the embassy, but the US is shamed by the continued detention and torture at Guantanamo and elsewhere.
 
Zeinab's father, a US citizen, is held in Iraq. He was captured by US forces, tortured and sentenced to imprisonment by 

a military tribunal without proper legal process. When the Americans left they handed him over to the Iraqis to  

keep in jail and torture. He has also been on hunger strike for around a hundred days. 

 

 

 

 

As I left, one of the poems written by Shaker Aamer, a London resident held in Guantanamo for over 11 years
subjected to daily humiliation and torture, held in solitary confinement, and now on hunger strike for over a
hundred days was being read.
