Vocal Protest for Obama's Speech in Dublin: "Close Guantanamo Bay!"

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Thursday May 19, 2011 22:26author by anti-war activist - (not as active as I'd like to be any more) Report this post to the editors

You dont need banners, you wont need placards - just bring yourself, and let your voice be heard.

Barack Obama arrives in Dublin next Monday. May 23rd.

He will give a speech to the Irish public at College Green in Dublin's city centre.

It is likely that his speech will commence around 8pm.

Members of the public will have to pass through security gates. No protesting paraphenalia will be allowed. But they cannot stop you going to listen to the speech - and voicing your own feelings.

Guantanamo Bay - internment without trial, "extraordinary renditions", torture, waterboarding, sensory deprivation, jury-free military trials, extended detentions with no access to lawyers - is still open despite Obama's promise at the beginning of his presidency to uphold the rule of law and close the camp.

Ten minutes into his speech, at a quiet moment, please shout "Close Guantanamo Bay", and repeat it so others can hear you too.

The "war on terror" goes on - Obama was elected on the promise of "Hope", but Guantanamo only offers despair. Ireland experienced the misery and repression of internment before - lets speak out again now another state is practising it.

"Close Guantanamo Bay" - a simple message. Say it loud, and say it proud.
