Medea Benjamin, US political activist and co-founder of Code Pink, supports We Stand With Shaker, and says, “It breaks my heart that my government is still holding Shaker Aamer in the Gitmo gulag. Kept in solitary confinement, without charge or trial, for 13 years despite being cleared for release not once, but twice. Is this a policy worthy of a democratic nation that touts the supremacy of Western values? Shaker Aamer’s release is over a decade overdue. He should be back in London in the arms of his loved ones. The whole world is watching. Release him now!”
