My companion

Those who have left. Those to come.
Our paths crossed once before. Yet to cross again.
By (the Token of) Time (through the ages), Verily Man is in loss, Except such as have
Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the
mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and
Constancy. Those righteousness of my glory
days. Gone, but merely memories
thinking of you my dear sis.
In that cage which is
only too small to
hold your
grace.

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. Click here to read what some of these individuals had to say about Cageprisoners.com.

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:
EDUCATION CAMPAIGN SUPPORT MOTIVATION CO-OPERATION PREVENTION

Ramadan Mubarak.. but is it?

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.
.
Inshallah, this reaches you in the best of health and eeman.
.
We spend Ramadan with our family and break our fast with a variety of options, in fact we have so much choice, we can not decide what to eat but what about the brothers who have been detained... a personal account from a brother currently in Belmarsh clearly stating that they are given iftar two hours before (therefore cold) and the food is not that which is sufficient for a child let alone a grown man. The brothers are held in cells for up to twenty one hours a day and only allowed 1 hour recreational time, in which they have to shower, make calls etc. Ramadan is the hardest time for those brothers detained, many of which do not have contact with family and friends as they are shunned due to the 'by association' tag.
.
This Ramadan, Inshallah with your help and support, I hope to send out Eid cards to all the brothers below in order to remind them that they are not forgotten and the ummah are still thinking of them.
.I
nshallah, if we all come together, we can ensure that all the brothers receive cards with an individual message rather then sending out one circular to all. If you are interested in helping me to achieve this, please email letting me know which brother or brothers you will send to (we are doing this fisabilillah but this is just so i can ensure we have everyone covered).
.
Note: If you do not wish to write your name, you can Inshallah, sign it using your family name and if you do not wish to include your own address, then please use:
.
SPT
PO Box 45798
SW16 4XS
.
Please can you get back to me as soon as possible as the mail does not reach the brothers for weeks at a time and we Inshallah, want them to arrive before Eid (not two weeks later).
