Experience Guantanamo -- in St Paul!
Amnesty International invites you to be part of an effort aimed to raise awareness and finally close down the US detention facility in Guantánamo. Amnesty International is bringing a life-size replica of a maximum security cell at Guantánamo to cities across the USA as a way to bring the harsh realities of illegal detention to concerned citizens.
Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to show your commitment to human rights. You can demonstrate your support by visiting the Cell, bringing your family and friends, or volunteering. We can only do it together. Spread the word.
At the site, you will be able to enter the cell, go through the conditions of isolation, and record a video message to President Bush, letting him know where you stand on Guantánamo and torture. And before leaving, you can tear down a pixel of Guantánamo and join our call for detainees to be charged and given fair trials or released.
The Cell will be open to the public on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, September 1-3, from 10:30 AM to 7:30 pm at Walnut Street and 7th Street West in downtown St. Paul.
For more information or to volunteer, please call Robert at 312-435-6396. Info is also on-line at www.amnestyusa.org/celltour.
