Please take a few minutes to write a letter to a Guantánamo Bay prisoner

Today is the ninth anniversary of Guantánamo Bay, but although many prisoners have been cleared for release for years they are still denied freedom.

While the 173 men still imprisoned on the island are no longer kept in open-air cages as they were when it first opened, they have spent almost a decade of their lives there. In an effort to bolster hope and let them know they have not been forgotten, Reprieve and other Guantánamo lawyers are asking the public to write a letter, a small note or even just a few words of encouragement. Please take the time to tell the men there are people who care. You can find details of various detainees to whom you can write at www.reprieve.org.uk/writetoguantanamo. Make sure all letters have a return address on the envelope and are sent to:

Prisoner’s Name

Prisoner’s ISN

Guantánamo Bay

PO Box 160

Washington, D.C. 20053

United States of America

Thank you for taking the time to provide some hope.
