On January 6, GoldStar Families for Peace Co-Founder Cindy Sheehan joins a 15-person delegation to Guantanamo. The delegation will include family members of detainees, former detainees, constitutional lawyers and US peace activists Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin,Co-Founders of CODEPINK and Colonel Ann Wright.

Torture is immoral, ineffective and absolutely illegal under domestic and international law.In 2002, the Center for Constitutional Rights initiated litigation challenging the U.S. government’s detention practices. In June 28, 2004, CCR was victorious in Rasul v. Bush, when the Supreme Court ruled that the detainees at GuantÃ¡namo have access to U.S. Courts to challenge their detention.Yet, the Administration has not complied.

We demand that the Bush Administration IMMEDIATELY:

â€¢ Make public all documentation of torture & abuse.
â€¢ Launch an independent investigation & hold those responsible accountable.
â€¢ Give all detainees a hearing in U.S. courts.
â€¢ Stop the practice of rendition: moving detainees abroad for torture.
