http://www.democracyinaction.org

Dear Friend,

Since early 2002, the men held at Guantánamo Bay have waged desperate
and at times life-threatening hunger strikes to protest their
detentionwithout trial and the conditions under which they have been
kept.. Thecurrent hunger strike, which began in August 2005, has
involved theparticipation of over half of the estimated 540 prisoners
still there.Many are now prepared to die if they do not receive a
fair hearing orhumane treatment. Please join the Center for
Constitutional Rights in aFast for Justice on November 1, 2005 to
show your solidarity with thosebeing kept out of the public eye and
to raise awareness for their plight.

fundamental human rights and do not believe that the Bush
Administration is above the law.

During the month of Ramadan (early October - early November), Muslims
around the world fast from sunrise to sunset. CCR is asking people of
of good conscience, regardless of your background or affliation, to
join in the fast on November 1, 2005. We will also hold a vigil in
Washington, D.C., to protest the dire plight of the men illegally
imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay and call on the Administration and
Congress to deal clearly and honorably with the issues at Guantánamo.

Please join us in the fast and vigil on November 1st and show your
support for this effort by wearing your "Hungry for Justice: Nov. 1"
sticker on that day (check our website in the coming week to download
the image and print it out).

Click here and make your voice heard by demanding that the Department
of Defense take the following steps to bring torture, abuse and
inhumane treatment to an end at Guantánamo:

• give the detainees a fair hearing and immediately release those who
have committed no crime
• provide adequate food, water, shelter, medical treatment and the
observance of religious practices;
• provide to families and legal counsel timely reports on the health
status of detainees, especially those participating in the hunger
strike;
• provide independent investigators (domestic and international )
access to all detainees.

The Fast for Justice, like all of CCR's campaigns, can only be a
success with your help. Please join us in standing up to the Bush
Administration and making sure that human rights are protected at
Guantánamo Bay.

Sincerely,

Edget Betru
CCR Guantánamo Global Justice Initiative Organizer
