Where on the web can you find bearded ladies, parachuting mermaids and pirates riding dolphins? On Amnestys virtual journey to Guantánamo Bay! Two weeks ago we launched an animated on-line petition asking for people to join our flotilla travelling all the way to Guantánamo to denounce injustice. Thousands have already joined us. If you still have not joined the protest, why not do it now? By doing this, you will put pressure on the US authorities to close Guantánamo and end injustice there. It only takes a minute and, besides, it is a lot of fun. Have you always wanted a beard but were afraid to grow one? Now's your chance! And you can also look for friends and check how they have designed their outfits, styled their hair and chosen their mode of transport. We would like to ask you to forward the link http://www.amnesty.org/guantanamoflotilla - to as many friends, colleagues and relatives as you can and ask them to sign up to the campaign as well. You can also link to the flotilla from your website or blog. Find banners and buttons here: Come on; let's give it a go! The campaign is gathering momentum and is creating quite a splash. Now we need your help to pass on the message. Can we count on you to keep up the momentum and ensure we get this awful detention site closed for good? Together we can make it possible! Thanks, everyone! (Captain) Sarah Burton Campaigns Programme Director
