Received from Amnesty this week. It’s shocking to think that it has been over five years since the US authorities first transported ‘war on terror’ detainees to the military prison at the naval camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Half a decade on and not a single detainee has yet been put on trial. The only trials in prospect are unfair military tribunals.

Please join Amnesty in calling for the closure of Guantánamo Bay.

A few weeks ago at London’s uber-hip Truman Brewery 300-plus clubbers, all dressed as Guantánamo Bay ‘detainees’, joined Physical Jerks to shuffle for justice in a recreation of the infamous US detention centre in Cuba. The event was a big success – raising over £1500 with all proceeds going to Amnesty International and European Dialogue – and produced some incredible pictures of clubbers clubbing (at a club) as Guantánamo detainees…an incongruous image, to say the least.

Check out the pics on Flickr: here and here.

The club night’s organiser, Seb Cumberbirch, said: “We wanted to use a London club environment to send out a serious political message – but to do it with a sense of fun. Now the fun’s over, it’s time to sort out proper trials for the guys banged up without rights at Guantánamo.”
