More than 600 demonstrators marched to the US embassy in London to demand the release of British residents (and others) from Guantanamo Bay. Due to repressive SOCPA legislation the speakers at the start of the protest were expressly forbidden to use load-hailers. This meant that people at the back of the crowd did not even realise that Venessa Redgrave, Bruce Kent, Mozaam Begg were even speaking - so much for freedom of speech.

Although the protest was small it was extremely powerful beyond words.

Full report and video to follow.
