CAIRO — Human rights organizations, world leaders, American allies and even American officials, current and former, have called for shutting down the infamous Guantanamo detention center.
The lawyers' associations in Australia, Britain, France, Finland, South Africa, Ireland, Scotland, Luxembourg, Turkey, Iraq and Romania and other countries were the last to join the international campaign.
On Monday, February 25, the leaders of 34 bar association sent a letter to US President George W. Bush to close Guantanamo.
"Few governmental operations by democratic countries have shown such a profound disrespect for the rule of law," read the letter.
"Guantanamo Bay has come to signify injustice for some at the hands of the powerful."
