Best resources on indefinite detention issue 

The evil of indefinite detention and those wanting to de-prioritize it

Protest Indefinite Detentions

Oppose Gitmo

America remained silent about Gitmo since it was not us, then we remain silent on the other 2,000 indefinite detainees in the little Kabul Gitmo called Bagram since that was not us. And now indefinite detention has come for us as the new NDAA law that any of us can be detained indefinitely without a trial or a charge by the military.

Demands:

• Close Guantanamo,
• Repeal indefinite detention,
• Stop torture,
• Stop unfair trials & secrete evidence,
• Stop Islamophobia and other human rights violations. 

When: Wed. January 11 at Noon
Where:  At White House

Do you know:

• According to the government 92% of these detainees were never Al-Qaeda fighters
• More than 200 FBI agents have reported abuse at Guantanamo Bay
• Only 5% prisoners were arrested by American forces while 86% were sold by bounty hunters for millions of dollars to the US military.
• There are 21 children at the detention center
• The oldest prisoner is 98 year old
• There are 89 persons who have been cleared for release by the government but are still detained

Protecting the American Revolution from Tyranny

Action Alert

Dec 9, 2011

The Senate has passed a version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that includes a dangerous provision authorizing the U.S. military to pick up and imprison civilians — including Americans — without charge or trial, anywhere in the world, including in your own backyard. The provisions were negotiated by a few senators — in secret — and without proper Congressional review. The House of Representatives earlier passed its own version of the NDAA that authorizes worldwide war, and worldwide indefinite detention, even within America itself. And now, the House and Senate are meeting in secret to write a final version and find a way to rush this outrageous affront to our constitutional rights to President Obama's desk.

Action Requested:

1) Ask President Obama fulfill his promise by vetoing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2012 if it includes provisions to detain civilians and citizens indefinitely without a trial.

2) Tell your members of Congress to vote NO on the NDAA if it contains indefinite detention without charge or trial.

Action Alert of Dec 1, 2011

Assalamu Alaikum

May God protect us all.

It is a shameful day for America. Probably the worst day in the American history of civil rights since the assassination of it's civil rights leader Dr. King.

The Senate yesterday failed to protect US citizens in a 38-60 vote from indefinite detention without trial. You could be locked up for life, without even ever being charged if this becomes a law.
