harold & kumar escape from guantánamo bay...

this week, the comedy harold & kumar escape from guantánamo bay will start playing in theaters across the country...but let's be real: detention at guantánamo bay is no joke...you can join me i handing flyers out wherever the movie plays and spread the truth about guantánamo bay...

sami al hajj, a sudanese news cameraman, has been held in guantánamo for over 5 years...he's been abused, intimidated and beaten...he has never been charged with a crime...like all guantánamo detainees, he cannot challenge his detention in a fair court...

so help me spread this truth: guantánamo is no laughing matter...hand flyers out wherever harold and kumar is playing...

for you see, guantánamo has become a global symbol of injustice and abuse...and amnesty international members are not the only ones saying it:

"If it were up to me I would close Guantánamo not tomorrow but this afternoon . . .Essentially, we have shaken the belief that the world had in America's justice system . . . and it's causing us far more damage than any good we get from it."
-Colin Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State

so join the call to shut it down...the u.s. government should charge detainees and give them fair trials or release them...with enough pressure from concerned citizens, we can get the u.s. back on track:

hand out flyers at screenings of harold & kumar escape from guantánamo bay

peace out <3
