"Give President-elect Barack Obama the support he needs to make good on his promise to close Guantanamo and end torture. Sign the petition:

--------------------

Dear President-elect Barack Obama,

I urge you as president to change the government’s course on human rights and to reverse the damage done by the U.S. government’s actions in the name of national security.

I call on you to demonstrate your commitment to justice by: Announcing the timeline to close Guantánamo Issuing an executive order to ban torture and other ill-treatment as defined under international law Ensuring that an independent inquiry into the USA’s detention and interrogation practices in its “war on terror” is set up These are three key steps on Amnesty International’s checklist for your first 100 days in office.

You can counter terror with justice. We are counting on you."
