Fast & Pray in Solidarity With WAT in Cuba

Solidarity of Hearts Rolling Fast With WAT Activists in Cuba

As people in the United States enjoy Thanksgiving with their families, 14 human rights activists with Witness Against Torture are in Cuba protesting the ongoing operation of the US prison at Guantánamo Bay.  At an encampment outside the base, the delegation demands that the prison close and that it not simply be moved to North America by holding men without charge or trial in federal prisons.  The group returns November 30 from Guantánamo to Havana, where it will request a meeting with the US ambassador.
