...ANDY WORTHINGTON, WikiLeaks Partner & Investigative Journalist introduces his acclaimed documentary film, followed by a Q & A session.
FIND OUT...
* The Truth about Guantanamo, Extraordinary Rendition, Secret Prisons & Torture
* How the Bush administration turned its back on Domestic & International Law, rounding up Men & Boys in Afghanistan & Pakistan without adequate screening (Often for bounty payments)
* Why some of these Men may have been in Afghanistan & Pakistan for reasons unconnected with Militancy or Terrorism (as Missionaries or Humanitarian Aid Workers, for example)
* The impact of the Revolutions in the Middle East & N.Africa on the Prisoners of 'The War on Terror'
THE FILM FOCUSES ON THE PLIGHT OF 3 PRISONERS —
SHAKER AAMER, Last British resident in Guantanamo (Still held)
BINYAM MOHAMED & OMAR DEGHAYES (Both released)
+ Interviews with OMAR DEGHAYES & MOAZZAM BEGG (Former Prisoners), CLIVE STAFFORD SMITH, TOM WILNER & GARETH PIERCE (Lawyers). JAMES YEE (Guantanamo's Former Muslim Chapain) & IMAM SHAKEEL BEGG
With Wikileaks' recent release classified US military documents relating to the prisoners — plus the death of Osama bin Laden — Guantánamo is more newsworthy than it has been for a while. As a media partner for WikiLeaks, Andy is perfectly placed to explain these developments, and also to keep the focus on Shaker Aamer, whose release from Guantánamo remains as pressing as ever.
ANDY WORTHINGTON is author of 'The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison', a groundbreaking account telling the stories of all the men who are (or have been) detained in Guantanamo & 'The Battle of the Beanfield', 'Stonehenge - Celebration and Subversion'
