This event is a part of the Close Guantanamo Now January 2014 Tour.

Andy Worthington, a journalist based in the U.K. has covered the prison intensely since 2006. In hundreds of articles, beginning when very little was known about the prisoners, he's uncovered the lives of the men held without charge, and the stories the U.S. created about them. Author of The Guantanamo Files: Stories of the 774 Men Held in Guantanamo, and in his 2009 film Outside the Law, Andy further developed the picture by sifting through the Guantanamo Detainee Briefs released via Wikileaks by Private Manning in 2011.

Debra Sweet is the Director of The World Can't Wait, organizer of years of programs & protests of indefinite detention and torture by the United States, including a full page ad in The New York Times in May 2013 picturing Guantanamo prisoners for the first time in those pages, and bringing together prisoners' attorneys, academics, artists, and voices of conscience to declare “Close Guantanamo NOW.”
