I went to a very thought-provoking talk last night hosted by Reprieve, the charity fighting for the lives of people facing the death penalty, and dealing with injustices in legal systems including work in Guantanamo Bay.
At the talk were two former detainees at Guantanamo - Moazzam Begg and Bisher al-Rawi. Al-Rawi, in particular, spoke with great humour and humility and was incredibly awe-inspiring. (UPDATE: Some further reading on al-Rawi.). If you have five minutes at your desk this morning to do some research about these men, Guantanamo Bay, and the 14,000 people currently in US secret prisons around the world, I guarantee that you will want to then spend a further five minutes visiting WriteToThem.com and getting your MP aware of their responsibility to use their elected power for good.
Thanks!
Jamil al-Banna, still in Guantanamo Bay, held without charge.
