Grills

May 10th 2008.

On Saturday the set up for the event, and the actual prison cell itself along with the digital petition went great! This blog was also on display in order to let people know how much effort was put into the project and so they could visit it later. We had many people visit the booth, and sign the petition. We also handed out fliers on what our booth was about and the link to AmnestyUSA.org so that they could learn and help more. The goal of the booth was to inform people both statistically and physically of the conditions the POWs are in, and it was definitely reached. We hope that by this small exhibition people will meditate on this current event, and feel the need to do something about it!

Prisoners of War

On Pangea day, Saturday May 10th, at the Ross School there will be an Amnesty International booth hosted by students; Jasper Creegan, Taylor Monte, and Laura Lemus. This booth will be a recontruction of a prisoner cell in order to represent the Prisoners of War (POW) that are being held at the moment. The information handed out will be to inform the public of the injustices that the POW are in. There will also be a digital petition, in order to give the public the opportunity to help the prisoners.
Each day more and more prisoners are being held for long periods of time, many times under cruel situations. The soldiers may be held captive only for suspicions, and are not given fair court trials. There are also conventions such as the Geneva Convention that protects against their human rights, which are not being followed.
We hope that many people are able to stop by, and do a little something to help the rest of the world!
