DESCRIPTION:Please join Amnesty International, World Can't Wait, and fellow human 
 rights defenders around the world on Wednesday, April 3rd for the monthly 
 Close Guantánamo Global Vigils. Tell President Biden to release the 16 men 
 cleared for release, stop the ongoing Islamophobic human rights abuses and 
 CLOSE GUANTÁNAMO NOW!!!\n\nThis month's SF vigil is inspired by the 
 artwork of Guantánamo detainees 
 (https://www.artfromguantanamo.com/new-catalog-images/sz532akia9fr4adofp0f4eyyt1t0cl) 
 and in observance of Ramadan. With orange jumpsuits (provided) on site and 
 the Golden Gate Bridge providing a striking backdrop, we will photograph a 
 tableau of resistance to the horrors of the torturous prison, once 
 described by Irene Khan (former Amnesty Secretary General) as "the gulag of 
 our times."  \n\nIf you can't join or plan a vigil, please read Mansoor 
 Adayfi's Ramadan Mubarek Guantánamo  
 https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/4/19/ramadan-mubarak-guantanamo 
 (from April 2023)\n\nAs a reminder, thirty Muslim men are still languishing 
 at Guantánamo, most without charge, none having received a fair trial. 
 Many detainees, like Toffiq al-Bihani and Khalid Qasim were brutally 
 tortured by the U.S. government. Sixteen of the detainees (see attached 
 posters), including al-Bihani and Qasim have been cleared for transfer for 
 years, yet they remain detained indefinitely at the unfathomably expensive 
 "forever prison".\n\nWhat: San Francisco Vigil to Close Guantánamo!\nWhen: 
 April 3rd at 6pm\nWhere: Crissy Field near the Warming Hut Park Store\nWho: 
 YOU, your friends and your justice artivist spirits\n\nPlease follow the 
 tireless Andy Worthington's updates & reports
