IMAGINE..

.

"This ‘Eid, like the last ‘Eid-ul-Fitr, will never be the same without my husband and son. In spite of such a long lapse of time, in which they have been absent from our lives, I still have not got used to them not being around. Every day is a struggle."

Farhat Paracha, wife of Guantanamo detainee Saifullah Paracha

.

"Sometimes I feel like going out to Bush and saying, ‘What the hell do you think you are doing’? And sometimes I just feel that maybe I should leave it alone"

(Zahra Paracha, 14 year-old daughter of Guantánamo detainee Saifullah Paracha )

.

"I want you to prepare yourself that you may never see me again" (Jamil El Banna, British resident in Guantanamo Bay)

.

"Many times I had my dinner in front of me, and Daddy came to my mind and then I could not eat."

(Aisha, daughter of ghost prisoner, Masood Janjua)

.

"We want to find rest. This is worse than killing. You're killing us slowly day by day."

(Husnah Al Mashtouli, wife of Mahmoud Jaballah, one of Canada's secret trial five)

ABOUT US

Cageprisoners.com is a non-sectarian Islamic human rights website that exists solely to raise awareness of the plight of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and other detainees held as part of the War on Terror. The web-site is not aligned to any Islamic group or organisation. The site was launched in October 2003 during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan by individual Muslim volunteers who came together for the reasons set out below. The inspiration for the web-site came from two other excellent web-sites on the cage prisoners: http://www.alasra.org (in Arabic) and http://www.prisonerofwest.org. We have the backing of both Muslim and non-Muslim lawyers, activists, former detainees, families of prisoners and academics.

OUR AIMS

.

1. EDUCATE the public by being a comprehensive resource of information on Guantanamo Bay and other detainees held as part of the War on Terror highlighting their plight and ensuring that they are never forgotten.

.

2. CAMPAIGN for the repatriation or asylum for the Guantanamo Bay detainees in particular and that other prisoners are treated within the civilised norms of justice, and to ensure that they are given their due rights namely:

.

the right to humane treatment and conditions

the right not to be tortured

the right not to be detained indefinitely

the right not to be disappeared

the right to open fair civilian trials

the right to legal representation

the right of access to the Red Cross and medical personnel

the right of access to their families.

.

3. SUPPORT their families emotionally and financially via HHUGS

.

4. MOTIVATE others to take organised political and legal actions on both a local and international level.

.

5. CO-OPERATE with other individuals and organisations for these ends

.

6. PREVENT similar treatment of other communities in the future by developing, building and placing political, legal and social infrastructures.

Our work can be summed up in six points:
