2000 DAYS OF INJUSTICE! GUANTANAMO BAY- If you don't know about it- you better get to know!! The "detention camp" in Cuba is where hundreds of men have been imprisoned unlawfully. They have been illegally kidnapped so that for years, their families have no knowledge of their where-abouts, whether they are dead or alive.I use the example of the three lads from Birmingham, who were released from Guantanamo Bay with no charge, after years of undergoing immense torture. They were accused and framed of being part of Al Qaeda, but were released when no TRUE evidence could be gathered. Surely it is proof that many are being held for no reason, as they are then released without charge. And lets be real, Guantanamo Bay is no normal jail with tv and carpentry classes, naaaa. Interrogation includes being screamed at, being face down on chemical covered grounds for hours, not being allowed to pray or talk, being chained in unbearable positions- then locked in a room and having music blared at you. These are just AFEW. Doesn't seem that bad? Try living it day in day out, being humiliated, totured, taken away from family and friends- and ofcourse, with all of this- being innocent. All this- in the name of Bush's "War against terror". When you occupy someone elses territory, kill another country's civilians and don't naff off out of a place where you have caused so many problems, whos the terrorist? So you think its a joke- and that all "terrorists" should be locked away. Well, lets be honest, most of these men are not "terrorists". Don't be so quick to trust the media and people in power, cos so far- the majority of both institutions have managed to ridicule and isolate innocent people. How can we be sure that the men locked away in Guantanemo Bay are oh so evil, when Bush himself sounded so vague: "Now the only thing I know for certain is that these are bad people". Don't make me chuckle Bush. If you want to do something about this, or find out more info- go to Amnesty International's website. They are doing some brilliant work in trying to close Guantanamo Bay. Also, track down "The Road to Guantanamo", about the three guys from Birmingham I spoke about before. It can be accessed on many websites: http://www.islamictube.net/view_video.php?viewkey=441008547 Please watch it- it is such an eye opener!!! It may be in afew parts though. Thanks for reading- please think about the people at Guantanamo Bay- and all other innocent detainees around the world. Please raise awareness about what is going on with your voice, your writing- anything. And if you can't physically do anything for them and their families- pray for them. If we do not make an effort to help our people who are locked away, we are as bad as the ones who put them there.
