Experience Guantánamo in a town near you!

On May 8 in Miami, Amnesty International will launch its national tour of a life-size Guantánamo prison cell replica. And you are invited. The cell tour is a way to bring the harsh realities of illegal detention to concerned citizens and call attention to the injustice and human rights abuses that Guantánamo symbolizes.

In Guantánamo's maximum security facilities, detainees are kept for up to 23 hours per day in complete isolation. Watch a panoramic photo from inside the cell to get an idea of what it's like.


You'll be able to enter the cell, go through the conditions of isolation and record a video message to President Bush, letting him know where you stand on Guantánamo and torture.

And before leaving, you can tear down a pixel of Guantánamo and join our call for detainees to be charged and given fair trials or released.

Together we can take action to end the human rights violations Guantánamo stands for: illegal detention, torture, denial of fair trials and habeas corpus, extraordinary rendition and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.

Together we can close Guantánamo.

2. Yes, I think it is good because the public doesn't get any news

on TV on what is really happening or the realities of the abomination
that Gitmo is. My local TV news would air this.

You can quit A.I anytime you like.

3. interesting. (of course i couldn't partake in it

..."You'll be able to enter the cell, go through the conditions of isolation"

my god! i wasn't even able to do a laser tag game with my daughter & her friends for her birthday party several years ago! i had to leave during the intro to the game ("excuse me but you need to LET ME OUT OF HERE!" and they did. right away.)
