Tell Our Senators to Oppose 4 Sections of the NDAA that Violate Human Rights

Please call the offices of Senator Lautenberg (202-224-3224) and Senator Menendez (202-224-4744) and urge them to oppose the renewal of four sections of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that violate human rights:

·        Secition 1021 further entrenches indefinite detention and unfair trials in US law.

·        Section 1022  mandates military custody for covered persons.

·        Section 1027 blocks the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the US mainland, even for trial in  federal court.

·        Section 1028 impedes the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to other countries, even those cleared for transfer.

 

Amnesty is particularly concerned that Senator Inhofe wants to make section 1027 permanent.

 

Please tell New Jersey’s US Senators to oppose the inclusion of these sections in S 3254 (the 2013 NDAA) and to vote against any version of the bill that S 3254 that includes these provisions!
 

Please also tell them it is time for President Obama to fulfill his promise from his 2008 campaign to CLOSE THE PRISON AT GUANTANAMO!
