Amnesty International is touring the country with a replica of a Guantánamo Bay prison cell. The cell tour is a way to bring the harsh realities of illegal detention to concerned citizens and call attention to the injustice and human rights abuses that Guantánamo symbolizes. In Guantánamo's maximum security facilities, detainees are kept for up to 23 hours per day in complete isolation.

You'll be able to enter the cell, go through the conditions of isolation and record a video message to President Bush, letting him know where you stand on Guantánamo and torture, and before leaving, you can tear down a pixel of Guantánamo and join our call for detainees to be charged and given fair trials or released.

Together we can take action to end the human rights violations Guantánamo stands for: illegal detention, torture, denial of fair trials and habeas corpus, extraordinary rendition and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Together we can close Guantánamo.
