The ACLU 'Close Guantanamo' Event in SL

Today marks the 6th year anniversary of the arrival of the first prisoners to Guantanamo Bay. The American Civil LIberties Union has taken the opportunity to launch a replica of Camp X-Ray in Second Life, simulating the inhumane conditions of detention at Guantanamo.

At 11 AM SLT, Progressive Island hosted the first of a series of live events dealing with the issues concerning torture and infinite detention in the U.S.-run prison. For more information about the 'Close Guantanamo' project, and what local events may be taking place in your city, check out the ACLU site.
