Why haven't you signed the Shaker Aamer petition?
What do you see when you read the name?

To all of my friends and blog followers who read my article last year, thank you, but did you sign the petition to ask for Parliament to discuss his case?

11 Years on …An indelible stain on America’s justice
Eleven years after the opening of Guantanamo Bay prison, and four years since the newly elected President Obama pledged its imminent closure, Guantanamo is still open. Since then President Obama has not only institutionalized Guantánamo and all the horrors it represents, but he has initiated new extrajudicial assassinations by drones. All this, and many other aspects of US policies at home and abroad, is always justified by the struggle to eliminate terrorism.
A Letter from Shaker Aamer's wife
Since 13 February 2002, Shaker Aamer has been detained without charge or trial in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Despite being cleared for release by the United States Department of Defense, he continues to languish at the detention camps even though the UK government has specifically requested his release.
The plight of Shaker's family has been one of severe trauma throughout the las 11 years. His youngest son, Faris, has never met his father and still continues to wonder what such a relationship means to this very day. In this exclusive letter CagePrisoners, Zinnera Aamer writes of the pain and suffering her family have been forced endure.
Post-conference statement: Remembering Guantanamo 11 Years On
11th January 2012 marks the 11th anniversary of the opening of Guantanamo Bay. CagePrisoners hosted a press conference to mark this occasion, bringing together former detainees to share their experiences and bring the conditions of the camp back onto the agenda. As Victoria Brittain commented these men very rarely speak about themselves and despite their release as Bisher stated, they are forever reminded of the pain as they reflect on those left behind in Guantanamo.
