Hello friends!

A final reminder about our gathering in Washington DC this week to join with TASSC (Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition) and others as WE REMEMBER: The Names. The Faces. The Souls of the Tortured. The Disappeared. The Lost. So They Are Not Forgotten.

Our planning meeting tomorrow evening (Wednesday) at 6:30pm will be at the TASSC Office, 4121 Harewood Road, NE, Washington DC.  We will carpool from St. Stephen's where we will meet at 5pm for dinner.  Let us know if you are coming, and we hope to see many of you this week.

When it comes to Guantanamo Bay, the politics of fear and cynicism have won out over any promised hope or change.

- Letter to the Editor in the Washington Post on April 28, 2011 by Matthew W. Daloisio

CALL TO ACTION - JOIN US ON JUNE 22-25, 2011

Fast for Justice, January 21, 2011

We must continue to speak and act against the ongoing crime of Guantanamo!

We walk in shame and grief and anger.

We walk mindful of broken promises, hollow words, and bankrupt institutions.

We walk for men torn from their families and homelands, tortured and abused by this nation, still detained without charge or trial after all these years.

We walk because we know that torture is wrong, that the indefinite detention of people without charge is wrong, and that vilification of South Asians and Muslims is wrong.

We walk because we cannot and will not accept injustice, forsake hope, and forget the humanity of the men detained by the United States at Guantanamo, Bagram, and other detention sites.

From June 22-25, 2011, Witness Against Torture will return to our nation's capitol. Please Join us. *

"THE ONLY WAY OUT OF GUANTANAMO IS IN A COFFIN"

Awal               GulFrom Andy Worthington: "The last living prisoner to be released from Guantánamo was Farhi Saeed bin Mohammed, an Algerian who was repatriated against his will in January. Since then, an Afghan prisoner, Awal Gul, died in February, and on last week the US military announced that another Afghan prisoner, Inayatullah, who was 37 years old, "died of an apparent suicide," early on the morning of May 18."
