The test of a nation's belief in Human Rights is its willingness to extend those rights even to people it hates.

This web site is intended to provide information and to urge Americans to preserve freedom and democracy by keeping an eye on how our government treats its enemies.

Camp X-Ray is the code name for the internment camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba that the U.S. is using to house Afghan suspects it has detained.  We are concerned that Human Rights Violations are occurring or that the U.S. is giving the world the appearance of a government that violates Human Rights.

  Please help us keep America's reputation strong and help us keep people informed about activities at Camp X-Ray.  Please help us petition to allow Amnesty International to inspect the Camp.

We are not seeking the release of the prisoners, only that they be granted some sort of human rights status.

UPDATE: There is now a separate petition for David Hicks. You can read about the plight of this Australian citizen who has been detained for over five years at FairGoForDavid.org.

"We are on a hunger strike. We've been on a hunger strike for 14 days, and nobody cares. We need the world to know about us. We are innocent here in this cage. We have no legal rights, nothing.
So can somebody know about us?
 Can you tell the world about us? "

Imagine yourself imprisoned in a foreign country on trial for a crime.  Could you respect that country's justice system if it didn't allow you a lawyer or some kind or a fair trial?   Suppose it refused you legal counsel, kept you imprisoned without even charging you with a crime, refused to release your identity (so that your family and country wouldn't even know where you were) and refused to allow anyone (such as Amnesty International) to observe your condition?  Suppose that country also refused to grant you POW status, wouldn't tell you when, if ever, you might be released, and kept you locked away in a secret, remote place indefinitely?  This is exactly what the U.S. is doing, right now, to it's detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.  They call it Camp X-Ray.

 

Campxray.org is not advocating the release of the prisoners.  We wish to point out that the U.S. is not abiding by International Law, not honoring the Geneva Convention Accords, and is operating in secret in its treatment of prisoners. 


We fully support the United States.   All we are asking (via our petition) is that Amnesty International (or similar, impartial body) be allowed to inspect Camp X-Ray.

These prisoners have...

No legal representation
No inspections from Human Right's groups
No accountability for the captors
No checks on abuse
Not charged with crimes
Not allowed counsel
Identities not disclosed to anyone
No status as POWs given
Rules of Geneva Convention for treatment of prisoners not honored.
Trials, including death penalty decisions, will be secret

Is essence, they don't exist as human beings or legal, human entities.
