TWO SIDES - ONE STORY: GUANTANAMO FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE WIRE A national tour to mark seven years of unlawful detention, abuse and torture. Guantanamo Bay stands as one of the most potent symbols of unlawful detention in the world today. 

The detention of suspected terrorists as the prison camps has evoked emotion from those seeking its closure and continuance. Cageprisoners presents Two Sides – One Story , a tour of the UK that brings those on opposite sides of wire at Guantanamo together for the first time. Chris Arendt, a former guard at the base has agreed to speak about his experiences in detaining suspected terrorists and bring new insights into the way the US administration carried out policies against them. Also speaking is Moazzam Begg who reflects on life at the prison on the opposite to Chris. The two are joined by Jarallah Al Marri, also a former detainee, whose brother remains in US custody. This unique tour is a historic moment in the continued War on Terror and will be launched on 11th January 2009, exactly seven years after the first transfers to Guantanamo Bay.
