Sometimes the idea for a campaign arrives out of the blue, and this is the case with a project to write to all the remaining prisoners in Guantánamo, which was launched last week by Shahrina Ahmed-Amatullah, a friend on Facebook. Shahrina had a list of 24 prisoners provided by Amnesty International (mirrored here), and approached […]
