Amnesty International Organised "Shut Down Guantanamo"
[Qudos to Irene Khan ]
Irene Zubaida Khan , born December 24, 1956 in Dhaka, Bangladesh
is the Secretary General of amnesty international.
This past Friday, Jaunary, 11 thousands of Amnesty International supporters staged
protests in over 30 countries spanning all five major continents, calling for an end to
the unlawful detention centers at Guantánamo Bay. Six years ago, the U.S. began
detaining people at Guantánamo Bay, without charge, without trial, without end.
Since then, conservatives and liberals, military officers and interrogators, Senators
and Representatives have condemned the detention camps there as immoral and
ineffective.
