SHUT DOWN GUANTANAMO !!!
Jan 11 2008: 400 march, 80 are arrested in Washington DC
January 11, 2008 – Early this afternoon, over 80 activists organized by Witness Against Torture delivered a message to the U.S. Supreme Court demanding the shut-down of the U.S. prison at Guantánamo and justice for those detained there. About 40 activists were arrested inside the Court building and another 40 on the steps. The arrests followed a solemn march from the National Mall of 400 persons that included a procession of activists dressed like the Guantánamo prisoners in
orange jumpsuits and black hoods – part of an International Day of Action that
was endorsed by over 100 groups and that included 83 events around the world. DC Photo Albums: 1 2 3 4 DC Press: AP Washington Post Al Jazeera VOA AFP
