Brit. Hostage Likens 5-Year Solitary Confinement in Lebanon To Guantanamo

<clips>

On Monday, European families of Guantanamo detainees traveled to Washington to denounce the treatment of their relatives and to urge President Bush to respect their legal rights.

The UK-based Guantanamo Human Rights Commission, made up of family members and supporters of the detainees, had hoped to meet with President Bush, but instead had to settle for a march to the White House. Among the family members was British citizen Terry Waite as well as actors Corin and Vanessa Redgrave.

The Guantanamo Human Rights Commission is holding a discussion tonight in Cooper Union Great Hall in New York City.

1. There was a one-paragraph story about this

In the Philadelphia Inquirer this week (no link).

I hope it gets some wider circulation.
