Kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba ixesha lethu kunye eWashington DC liza kuphela kungekudala. Iintsuku bezigcwele, kwaye namhlanje - kuphawula ukuqala kwe-14th Unyaka wokuvalelwa okungapheliyo kwamadoda eGuantanamo, kwakungenjalo.
Ngomso Uhlaziyo luya kuzisa ulwazi malunga ne-12 kaJanuwari yethuth imisebenzi - kwaye iya kubhalwa emva kokuba ababhali baye bafumana ukutya okuqinileyo okokuqala kwiintsuku ze-7 (abantu basekhaya bayamenywa ukuba bahlanganyele nathi ukuze baphule inzila 10am -Inkonzo kaBathathu Emnye).
Inkcazo epheleleyo yethu January 11th imisebenzi ingezantsi. Ungafumana amazwi kaJeremy Varon (WAT) avela kwiNdlu eNgcaciso Apha, kunye neefoto zobukho bethu kwi-DC kwi Flickr kwaye facebook.
Bekumnandi ukuba sestratweni nabaninzi benu namhlanje. Kwaye siyasayina ngoku, silungiselela usuku lwethu lokugqibela ezitratweni kunye...okwangoku.

January 11th isishwankathelo
INgqina Elichasene Nentuthumbo elaqanjwa ngoJanuwari 11th, 2015 kunye ne-rally eyayibuhlungu kwaye ikhuthaza, igcwele amandla amatsha kunye nomfutho nanjengoko isikhumbuzo sentolongo yaseGuantanamo Bay siza malunga nexesha leshumi elinesithathu. Nangona imozulu yayintle ngakumbi kunokuba yayiyizolo, umlindo kunye nomngcelele wawusengumngeni ngokwasemzimbeni kwabo bakhawulezayo. Izithethi zaphinda zasicela umngeni: ukuqhubeka sithanda, ukudibanisa imiba, ukutyhila ukungabi nabulungisa okufihliweyo, kunye nokuqinisa imfesane yethu kunye nokuzibophelela kumadoda angamaSilamsi esenza egameni lawo.
Emva kwenkonzo yomthandazo weemvaba ngeemvaba, abantu abaninzi abahlukeneyo bathetha phambi kwe-White House, bonke bethetha ngothando oluvela kumava obuqu, bekhanyisa ukungabikho kokusesikweni kweGuantanamo ngokwembono yabo. Imisebenzi yeembongi zoXolo yaqala kwaye yaphelisa ubukho be-White House. Phakathi kwezithethi, abantu bafunda iileta ezivela kumabanjwa ngokuvakalayo njengoko imifanekiso yamabanjwa yayixhonywe kwiipowusta. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, abo bakhawulezayo kwii-jumpsuits eziorenji bafola, kwaye isihlwele sababukeleyo sathi cwaka njengoko babebukele. Kwafika ixesha lokumatsha ukuya kwiSebe lezoBulungisa. Ababekhokela umngcelele ngomzimba nangomoya yayinguMaha Hilal kunye namanye amalungu eqela lamaMuslim aRally ukuya kuvala iGuantanamo.
KwiSebe lezoBulungisa, uJeremy Varon wachaza ukubaluleka kwendawo, yaye umhlobo waseCleveland wawuphakamisa umnqweno wethu woxolo, ubuhle nokukhululwa kwabathinjwa bethu. Kwisimemo sakhe, umntu ngamnye kweso sihlwele wathatha enye ye-127 ye-orenji carnations ebhalwe igama lebanjwa langoku laseGuantanamo kwaye wayiphosa ngasemva komqobo wamapolisa, kumanqwanqwa eSebe lezoBulungisa.
Isithuba sikawonke-wonke phakathi kweNkundla ePhakamileyo ye-DC, iNkundla yeSithili ye-Federal, kunye ne-DC Central Cell Block yaba sisikhululo sesithathu nesokugqibela kuMatshi wethu. Abantu abanxibe kunye nabangenazo ii-jumpsuits bema kwisangqa esipheleleyo, umqondiso wokuba kunye kwethu. UEmmanuel Candelario ubize “amandla, ingqumbo, ubomi, nothando” lwethu kuthotho lweengoma eziye zaphela ngokuthi “Vala uMbindi!” ebhekisa kwintolongo ngqo ephantsi kweenyawo zethu. UShahid Buttar we-DC Guerrilla Poetry Insurgency uye wasikhumbuza, "Sola una lucha hay," ukuba kukho umzabalazo omnye kuphela. Ekugqibeleni u-Uruj usibulele ngokuthetha egameni labo bangakwaziyo ukuthetha ngoku, abantu esibathembileyo bazakube bemi apha ngenye imini, ecaleni kwethu, ngobulungisa.
Ngezantsi uya kufumana isishwankathelo sentetho nganye namhlanje.
Inkonzo yomthandazo
UZainab Chaudry weBhunga kuBudlelwane bamaSilamsi aseMelika uvule inkonzo yomthandazo, ebiza abathathi-nxaxheba kunye kuzo zonke iiyantlukwano zabo ukuze bacele ubulungisa kuThixo. Ufunde kumbongo othi “Thula,” nguEdgar Lee Masters: Kukho ukuzola kwentiyo enkulu / Nokuthula kothando olukhulu / ... / Kukho ukuthula kwabo bohlwaywe ngokungekho sikweni; Kwaye ukuthula kwabafayo abasandla sabo / Ngequbuliso sibambe esakho.
URabi uCharles Feinberg wavakalisa ukuba sinokuqala kuphela ukuyeka le mfazwe ngokuhlonipha umfanekiso kaThixo ebantwini.
INdlu yeNdlu
ULuka umtshana wenza umbongo wakhe, “Kukho Indoda Ngaphantsi Kwelo Hood”: kubantu belizwe lam, nceda, / musa ukwenza ngathi ufuna inkululeko / okanye ubulungisa, okanye nayiphi na into eqhelekileyo / de sikulungele ukuqaphela amalungelo oluntu / wonke umntu / indoda ephantsi kweso sakhiwo.
UJeremy Varon wazisa a idilesi entle, ibalaselisa isipho sethemba esiye savela phakathi kokungekho sikweni kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Ngaphezu kwamagama athembisayo, sinee-28 ezikhutshwayo zokwenyani zokubhiyozela, ukhupho ngalunye olumele isenzo sangabom sezopolitiko. Sinokubona kwezi zenzo amandla ogwayimbo lokulamba lwamabanjwa aseGuantanamo, kunye namandla okumelana nabemi abaqhelekileyo. “Masiwakhulise loo mandla,” uJeremy wabongoza eso sihlwele, “ukwenza unyaka ka-2015 ube ngunyaka wejubhile enkulu yaseGuantanamo, xa iindonga zokuvalelwa okungapheliyo zidilika, izikhalo zentuthumbo zizolile, xa ilitye entliziyweni yaseMelika liqala ukuthamba, amadoda anekratshi, ebotshwe ngokungekho sikweni, ahamba ekhululekile, kwaye onke amadoda aseGuantanamo aphathwa njengabantu.”
Umfundisi uRon Stief, umlawuli olawulayo we Iphulo likaRhulumente leSizwe lokuchasana neNtlungu, yacaphula INdumiso 13 ukuze icacise intlungu yokuvalelwa okungapheliyo: “Koda kube nini na, Yehova? Ngaba uya kundilibala ngonaphakade?” Intuthumbo iyavunywa AKUKHO isiko lenkolo, utshilo. Kufuneka sivale iGuantanamo, egameni lemilinganiselo yaseMelika, nangegama likaThixo.
UAliya Hussain we CCR wasixelela amabali: ibali likaFahd Ghazy echitha omnye unyaka kude nentombi yakhe uHafsa; ka-Mohammed al-Hamiri, abahlobo kunye no-Adnan Latif, ozibuza ukuba uya kuphuma ephila okanye abelane ngekamva leqabane lakhe; kaGhaleb Al-Bihani ozama ukulawula isifo seswekile kunye neentlungu ezingapheliyo; kaTariq Ba Odah, oye watyiswa mihla le ngenkani ngexesha loqhankqalazo lwendlala aluqala ngo-2007. Amabali abalulekile, hayi amanani, utshilo u-Aliya. Ekuphela kwenani esilifunayo eGuantanamo nguziro.
Noor Mir we Amnesty International wathetha ngokulandelayo, ebalisa ngedolophu yakowabo i-Islamabad, nangendlela ubomi bakhe obabubunjwe ngayo luloyiko lokuba utata wakhe angade athathwe. Uthethe ngokuchasene nenkcubeko yoloyiko e-United States, uloyiko oluvumela umgaqo-nkqubo wethu wangaphandle ukuba uqhubeke. Kwaye umgaqo-nkqubo wasekhaya nawo-uNoor wasikhumbuza ukuba imizimba emnyama, nayo, inxiba ii-jumpsuits ze-orenji, kwaye iindaba zethu zelizwe zixhasa inkcubeko efanayo yoloyiko.
Debra Sweet of Ihlabathi alikwazi ukulinda wayigxininisa loo nto intolongo yaseGuantanamo AYIKHO impazamo, kodwa isimboli esinenjongo nesinamandla sobukhosi base-US. Ngaphezu koko, ukuphelisa iGuantanamo akuphelisi intswela-bulungisa yase-US - isizwe sethu ayikaqapheli ukuba ubomi babantu abamnyama bubalulekile. Namhlanje ayisiyonto nje isikhumbuzo sesikhumbuzo, kodwa USUKU LWENENE xa sizibophelela ekusebenzisaneni ukuxabisa ubomi babantu bonke.
Andy Worthington wasibongoza ukuba siqhubeke sicinezela ulawulo luka-Obama, esithi kubo, Nenza ntoni na ngala madoda angamashumi amahlanu anesithoba, akhululwe ukuba akhululwe? Ngabantu abangama-59 baseYemeni abafuna ilizwe abaza kubuyela kulo?” Kwaye abo bangacaciswanga ukuba bakhululwe, kufuneka sivume ukuba "ubungqina" obuchasene nabo abunamsebenzi, imveliso yokunyoba kunye nentuthumbo, isithuko kwiingcamango zethu zobulungisa kunye nobulungisa.
UMaha Hilal uthethe egameni leqela lamaSilamsi aRally ukuVala iGuantanamo, efuna ukuba iGuantanamo ivalwe. Ubongoze amaSilamsi ngakumbi ukuba athathe inxaxheba ekugwebeni into eyintolongo yaseMelika yamaSilamsi emhlabeni.
UMary Harding we I-TASSC babelane ngemvisiswano yabasindi bentuthumbo, abayaziyo “imvakalelo yokulahlwa, intlungu, ukoyika” kunye nentlungu yamalungu osapho amadoda aseGuantanamo awayivayo. Ucele uxanduva lokuphendula, kwaye wathi iNgxelo yeNtuthuko ye-Senate iya kubaluleka kuphela njengoko intshukumo inika amandla. Ukuthatha uxanduva kufuneka kube kwasekhaya ngokunjalo, kuba abemi baseMelika abasokoli? “Kuthekani ngeSiqithi saseRiker? Abo bantu NGABANTWANA BETHU!”
Talat Hamdani of EyoMsintsi iiNtsapho zeShumi elinanye ngengomso elinoxolo wabalisa ibali lonyana wakhe, owasweleka emsebenzini wakhe njengomphenduli wokuqala. Endaweni yokuba ahlonitshwe, waphandwa. Ugxininise ukuba impendulo engabonakaliyo kwi-9 / 11 yayinokwenzeka kwaye inokwenzeka, kwaye yindlela efanelekileyo yokukhusela ukuhlaselwa kwexesha elizayo. “IMelika endikholelwa kuyo IYA kuvala iGuantanamo! IGuantanamo lihlazo laseMelika.”
KwiSebe lezoBulungisa
UJeremy Varon uchaze ukuba iSebe lezoBulungisa libe negalelo njani kubugxwayiba obusemthethweni obuthwaxa zonke iinzame zokuvala iGuantanamo. Kwangoko kulawulo luka-Obama, i-DOJ yakhetha ukutshitshisa isigqibo esasiza kuvumela umkhosi wase-US ukuba uhlalise ngaphezu kweshumi elinesibini le-Uighurs kwindawo ye-DC metro. I-DOJ yinxalenye ye-Amerika esilelayo ukufezekisa iinjongo zethu, endaweni yoko idala iimeko ezikhuthaza ukubulawa kwabantu okuqhubekayo. “Ndiyagula yiyo. Ukugula ukuxelelwa lo matshini kusenza sikhuseleke. Ebanga intonga yolawulo lomthetho, la magosa asenzele umonakalo kuthi sonke.”

Isicatshulwa esivela kwi-Shahid Buttar's "Wamkelekile kwiTerrordrome":
Kwakukho ixesha ilizwe lethu lanikela inkuthazo yehlabathi
Namhlanje imigaqo-nkqubo yethu ikhuthaza ukunyhashwa kwamalungelo oluntu
Bakutyhalela kwinqwelomoya, awukwazi ukubona ukuba kusebusuku okanye kusemini
Awuzazi ukuba uphi, awuzange ube khona kakade
Kodwa apha, kwiCamp X-Ray, uya kuhlala iminyaka
Wamkelekile kwiTerrordrome.
IGitmo, iBagram, abongameli bayatshintsha, ukuxhatshazwa kuyaqhubeka
Asinako
sebenzisa umthetho
ngokulinganayo
De sivalele uJaji Bibey kunye noDick Cheney entolongweni.
