This Saturday, local human right campaigners will dress in orange boiler suits and speak to residents about GuantĂĄnamo Bay, to raise awareness of Shaker Aamerâs case.
Shaker Aamer, is a 44-year-old British man who has been held at GuantĂĄnamo Bay without charge or trial for over 11 years. He hasnât seen his wife or children during this time, and claims to have been tortured. Over 100 GuantĂĄnamo detainees, including Shaker, have been on hunger strike for months.
Emma Parker, Brighton & Hove Amnesty group, said:
âWe want to give local people the opportunity to learn more about what is going on at GuantĂĄnamo Bay, and advise them on the best ways to help the cause.â
The campaigners will be ready to answer questions on the issue, outside the Amnesty Bookshop in Sydney Street on Saturday July 20, 11am-1pm. This event coincides with a seven week national protest outside parliament.
