More play acting. Amnesty now 100% compromised. Anyone see Sarah Silverman at the Secret Policeman's Ball? Far cry from Monty Python & Pete Townsend.

PRESS RELEASE

22 January 2007

5,000 sail to Cuba to Close Guantánamo

Just over a week on from the 5th anniversary of the first transfers to the
US prison camp at Guantánamo, over 5,000 people from more than 90 countries
have set off on a virtual voyage to the US detention centre.

The travellers are taking part in AI?s latest online campaign to persuade
the US government to close Guantánamo. The campaign will run until 26 June,
International Day for the Protection of Victims of Torture.

Each person who signs up to join the flotilla can design their own outfit,
redo their hair and choose from a range of flotation devices from pirate
ships and dinghies to dolphins and dragons. People can also choose a message
about Guantánamo in a selection of languages. As people progress towards
Cuba, they will be invited to sign petitions on behalf of those detained
in Guantánamo.

?The protests which took place less than a fortnight ago showed that people
across the world want to see Guantánamo closed. We are now taking that struggle
from the streets to cyber space,? said Denise Searle, Senior Director of
Communications at Amnesty International.

?This campaign is also a response to the US government?s continuous disregard
of international outrage at Guantánamo detentions and to AI's numerous unanswered
requests to visit the detainees who are held there virtually incommunicado.?
