[PAA-Discuss] Call/Urgent Action Needed on Shaker Aamer @ Guantanamo

[Juli3 at aol.com]

Please call !



Friends,

This is an important call to action on the case of Guantanamo  detainee and 
former UK resident Shaker Aamer

    *   On March 13, UK Prime Minister David Cameron will make a State 
Visit to  President Obama 

    *   AIUSA and AIUK are urging both leaders to put the case of 
Guantanamo  detainee and former UK resident Shaker Aamer on their agenda. Mr. Aamer 
has  been held for 10 years at Guantanamo without charge--despite the UK  
government's request that he be returned to his family in London. 

Please take action: Call on President Obama to resolve  Shaker Aamer's case 
with Prime Minsiter Cameron by either charging him with a  crime and giving 
him a fair trial, or releasing him to the UK (Our UK friends  will be 
pressuring Prime Minister Cameron):

1) E-Mail: _www.amnestyusa.org/aamer_ (http://www.amnestyusa.org/aamer) 

2) Call the White House comment line: _1.202.456.1111_ (tel:1.202.456.1111) 

3) Tweet @BarackObama @State_DRL charge or release  #ShakerAamer to UK
