Some UK comedians including Bill Bailey, joined in on a protest around the ongoing human rights abuses at Guantanamo Bay.
This particular protest was sparked off when the US authorities accused the Director of prisoners’ rights group Reprieve of sneaking illicit underpants to some detainees in Camp X-Ray.
If it weren’t for the fact that so many people, guilty or innocent, are still being detained without trial and without the most basic safeguards of international law, the situation would almost be funny. But the bizarre nature of the operations of the War on Terror are becoming so detached from reality, it’s starting to be a little sad as well as frightening.
Especially coming on the heels of news that the information the FBI was feeding to the US government’s terror watch list was “error-ridden” and “out of date”.
The slogan for this protest?
