November Newsletter: Prisoner released, New project on Guantanamo, January 11th
As we send this newsletter on a day set aside in the United States to recognize those who have fought in past wars (and fight for a world in which there is no war), we want to recognize the important voices of some in the military who have been in Guantanamo – like Terry Holbrooks, author of ‘My Time as a Guantanamo Bay Guard,’ and the unidentified Guantanamo nurse who refused to participate in forced feedings.
Forced-Feeding is Torture! No Secret Courts!

Dear Friends,
Adnan Latif–Presente!!! On Second Anniversary of His Death at Guantanamo
“Where is the world to save us from torture? Where is the world to save us from the fire and sadness? Where is the world to save the hunger strikers?”
–Adnan Latif
Dear Friends,
Today marks the second anniversary of Adnan Latif’s death. And still there has been no independent investigation regarding the true cause of his death. As we continue to call for justice for all the Guantanamo detainees, demand an end to indefinite detention and torture and that Guantanamo be closed, let us not forget those who died at Guantanamo, including Adnan Latif.
With gratitude, Art

4 New Posters Available
For the last three years, Witness Against Torture has presented short runs of posters featuring quotes from former and current Guantánamo detainees. This week, we are releasing five new posters designed by WAT member Justin Norman. These artistic renderings of the plight of the detainees will hopefully engage people in a new way. We hope you like them. Furthermore, you can purchase printed images of these posters on our website. These purchases help in raising funds for our efforts to shut down the detention center that continues to hold them. Click here to check out the new posters, which are all available on our website store.

On Sunday, we retreated to the Peace Oasis to put in motion a framework for January 11, 2015.
