Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, the group Witness Against Torture held a protest Thursday on the eve of President Obama’s initial self-imposed deadline to close Guantanamo Bay. The group says forty-two people were arrested at the US Capitol after holding a ceremony for three Guantanamo Bay prisoners whose deaths were initially reported as suicides but now are speculated to have died from torture. Activists also unfurled banners reading “Broken Promises, Broken Laws, Broken Lives.”
