The University of Nottingham's Amnesty International Society's silent protest against the continuing human rights abuses at Guantanamo Bay.

Join the University of Nottingham’s Amnesty International Society on the 10th of March to protest against the continuing human rights abuses at Guantanamo Bay. It is now over five years since the first detainees were transferred to the detention camp and despite widespread international condemnation, hundreds of people from more than 30 nationalities remain there: without charge and with little hope of obtaining a fair trial. Enough is enough! Guantánamo Bay is a symbol of injustice and abuse. It must be closed down.

Following the spectacular success of the AIUK silent protest in central London outside the US embassy, The University of Nottingham’s Amnesty International Society plans to stage a similar silent protest in Long Row East in Nottingham city centre (March 10th 12pm-2pm) where each participant will be provided with a Guantanamo Bay style orange jump suit.
