6th. Anniversay Vigil to "Shut Down Guantanamo" *4-6pm, U.S. Embassy

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Saturday January 05, 2008 03:48author by E Report this post to the editors

Responding to an international call to act up and speak out on the 6th. anniversary of Guantanamo www.witnesstorture.org , a vigil to Shut Down Guantanamo will be held outside

The U.S. Embassy, Dublin
Friday January 11th 4pm - 6pm

Contact for more info

Today, there are still over 250 detainees held in the American military
detention camp in Guantánamo Bay. A legal no-man’s land, the detention camp opened its door on 11 January 2002.

Initially touted as a detention camp for “enemy combatants” caught fighting the Americans in Afghanistan, it has since emerged that many of the detainees were nowhere near Afghanistan or combatants and were sold by the Pakistani military for a mere $5000.

Over 800 men, of various nationalities, including 9 British nationals, have passed through its gates in the past six years. CIA rendition flights continue to be refueled at Shannon Airport, County Clare. Only one detainee has ever been convicted of a minor charge, less than a handful face charges and the rest have been held arbitrarily without access to the legal process, at the whim of the US military, for almost six years. Enough is enough. Will 2008 be the year to see Guantánamo close?

Fr. Steve Kelly SJ, Fr.Louie Vitalie, Betsy Lamb and Fr. Jerry Zawada are presently in prison for their nonviolent resistance at the U.S. military torture training school Fort Huachuca in Arizona, USA.

Graduates from Fort Huachuca go on to practise their techniques at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and the secret dungeons of the C.I.A./U.S. military.

More background on the resister prisoners, Fort Huachuca, torture as U.S. policy check out
http://tortureontrial.org/

The best way to write to the four prisoners is individually and care of the following address
c/o the Nuclear Resister,
PO Box 43383,
Tucson,
AZ 85733
USA

This redirection service will ensure your letter gets to them and is not returned in event of prison move or release.

Having spent 13 months in jail in the enormous facist rabbit warren that is the U.S. prison system, I can't emphasise enough the significance of a postcard or a letter from Ireland or anywhere else.
Prison is designed to break the resister - too isolate, atomise, scare, humiliate, convince them no one cares about them or torture in this case. Solidarity is the only anti-venom we have!

I received a letter from Fr. Louie Vitale recently. I first met Louie in '87 when he was provincial of the Franciscans on the west coast (U.S.). His province were were spearheading nonviolent resistance at the Nevada nuclear test site. The Franciscan Pace Bene were doing interesting stuff with desert spirituality and nonviolent resistance. On release Louie and Jesuit Steve Kelly face further prosecution with some L.A. Catholic Workers for earlier nonviolent resistance at Vandenburg Air Force Base.

Louie was in good form in his recent letter.
