An Ex-Guantanamo Bay guard and two former detainees spoke at Friends Meeting House on January 11th addressing an audience of nearly 500 people.

Christopher Arendt, the first guard to speak publicly, discussed his experiences in Guantanamo and how he left the army and joined Iraq Veterans Against the War.

He was joined by former detainees Jaralla Al-Marri and Moazzam Begg. Al-Marri just six months ago was shackled and caged in Guantanamo Bay and his brother remains the only “enemy combatant” imprisoned in the USA.
