The US detention centre at Guantánamo Bay has become a symbol of US disregard for human rights and the rule of law. It is only the visible part of a larger programme of illegal detention by the US government.
Neither you nor I are big enough to put an end to this disgrace, but working together with countless other concerned individuals worldwide, we can bring an end to this illegality.
Tear It Down
Tearitdown.org is Amnesty International’s global initiative to end illegal US detentions and a major online action under Amnesty International’s campaign to Counter Terror With Justice
Our campaign to end US illegal detentions is based on a framework that outlines practical and positive steps US authorities should take to close Guantánamo, and end secret detention and rendition.
We are asking other governments to recognize their important role in providing lasting protection for these detainees and to oppose any recourse by the US authorities to secret detention and transfers.

And do your bit to tear Guantánamo down, a first step to ending illegal detention.
Let’s tear it down!
The Pledge:
"I sign up to Amnesty International’s framework for ending US illegal detention, the first step of which is closing Guantánamo in a way that respects the rights of detainees.
The US must also end the practice of enforced disappearance, secret transfer of detainees to locations where they may face torture and other ill-treatment and indefinite detention without charge."
