Campaigners outside the US Embassy marking the Seventh Anniversary of the Opening of the Guantanamo Bay illegal prison camp, in their own imitable way.The London Guantánamo Campaign campaigns for justice for all prisoners at Guantánamo bay, for the closure of this and other secret prisons, and for an end to the practice of extraordinary rendition. There are currently around 200 detainees being held at Guantánamo Bay, most of whom have been cleared for release, but are effectively refugees, as they have no safe country to return to. Charges are currently pending against approximately a dozen detainees. However, as the detainees do not have the right to choose their own counsel, to defend themselves or see the evidence against them, among other violations of due process rights, they are denied the right to a fair trial and representation.
