Hunger Strikers Call for Closure of Guantanamo

Protesters gathered outside the White House on Monday to mark the eighth anniversary of the opening of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. One hundred twenty-five people have started a twelve-day hunger fast calling for the prison to be closed. Fasters include Frida Berrigan of Witness Against Torture.

Frida Berrigan, Witness Against Torture: “We’re here to hold up a mirror to the Obama administration in the hopes that what they see is not a reflection of the hope and change that they promised but the hardened continuity, hardened continuity with the Bush administration."
