Save Shaker Aamer Campaign: Demonstration Outside David Miliband Meeting

Date: Friday 19 February
Time: 5.30pm
Venue: St Paul's Church, Hammersmith Broadway, W6

David Miliband has ignored our request for a SSAC deputation to meet with him, put to him on our behalf by Martin Linton MP. Martin has made a number of approaches to the Foreign Secretary since summer 2009. We have to press even more strongly for this meeting to take place. There should be no reason for the Foreign Secretary to avoid a meeting with us given the government's declared position that they have earlier called for Shaker's release. If you are able to attend the Hammersmith meeting please do your best to call for Shaker's release, for the government to do much more than it has done so far - to secure his release, raise the long term suffering of the family which is an extremely serious issue in itself, and of course the likely deteriorating medical condition of Shaker himself.

The meeting starts at 6.30pm. Local residents in W6 are strongly urged to attend to put questions to the Foreign Secretary about his failure to act in Mr. Aamer’s case. The meeting is organised by local MP Andy Slaughter. The church is near Hammersmith underground station.

Organised by the SSAC. Please contact the LGC for more details: london.gtmo@gmail.com
