On Monday, 19th January. Hicham will introduce and chair a unique event: The only chance to see two former Guantamano detainees and a former Guantanamo guard speak in Nottingham about their experiences. Not to be missed - even if you have exams!
Guantanamo Bay stands as one of the most potent symbols of unlawful detention in the world today. The detention of suspected terrorists as the prison camps has evoked emotion from those seeking its closure and continuance.
Cageprisoners presents Two Sides – One Story, a tour of the UK that brings those on opposite sides of wire at Guantanamo together for the first time.
Chris Arendt, a former guard at the base has agreed to speak about his experiences in detaining suspected terrorists and bring new insights into the way the US administration carried out policies against them.
Also for the first time the detained Al Jazeera journalist Sami El Haj will be speaking with Moazzam Begg as they both reflect on life at the prison on the opposite to Chris.
Time: 6:30PM - Monday 19th January 2009
