Guantanamo prison draws protests worldwide
Legal World
Protests against the US military prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay Cuba continued Thursday as the facility marked its fifth anniversary. In Cuba itself, peace activists, including former detainee Asif Iqbal, and Gold Star Families for Peace founder Cindy Sheehan marched from Guantanamo city to the location of the US camp to demonstrate against its existence. AP has more. Meanwhile new United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also called for the closure of the facility. Ban follows in the footsteps of his predecessor Kofi Annan, who had also called for the camp's shutdown. Ban will reiterate his call when meeting with President Bush next week.
