On Saturday, 13 February, campaigners against Guantánamo Bay will deliver an early Valentine’s card for President Obama to the US embassy. The card asks to end the heartache of all the remaining prisoners still locked up for years in Guantánamo, release them to their homes and families and close this illegal prison of torture and abuse that has stained the reputation of the US. President Obama’s first executive order was a pledge to close Guantánamo. That was over seven years ago. He has only a few months left in office. President Obama should act now, with great urgency, on his promise or this significant failure will remain as his own enduring legacy. Fewer than a hundred prisoners still remain in Guantánamo. None has received justice, all have been tortured. We call on President Obama to fulfil his promise and end this awful chapter in US history. We call on the UK government to support President Obama and call for closure of Guantánamo, now and for ever. We are all entitled to justice. Without it, we are all at risk of arbitrary arrest and indefinite detention without charge or trial.Joy HurcombeWorthing, West Sussex
