SHUT GUANTANAMO: FRIDAY VIGILS

VIGIL FOR DAVID
Friday 19 January 2007
12 noon - 1pm (and following Fridays)
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
Casselden Place (corner of Lonsdale & Spring Streets),
Melbourne.

It's been more than five years since the first hooded, shackled men were brought to the U.S. prison at Guantánamo and although not a single prisoner has been tried or convicted of any crime, more than 400 still remain, including Australia's David Hicks.

The Australian government is under increasing pressure to act on David Hicks, and we need to make sure that we maintain that pressure. That why we're holding a vigil outside the Department of Foreign Affairs, every Friday, until David is brought home.

We need as many people as possible to join us. Please spare two hours per week to attend the vigil and to help us try to get David out of Guantanamo.
