Thank you for sharing this. It is an encouragement to keep writing
Thank you Amnesty for making it easy for us to do these things.
I am disappointed that Omar only received photocopies of the greetings sent to him. But i am delighted to here how a few simple words of belief and support from genuine people gave Omar comfort and strength. A very worthwhile campaign
Wonderful to see first hand the positive effect the Greetings Cards Campaign can have! Shocked, though, to learn that Omar Deghayes was only given photocopies of the cards and letters sent to him - very cynical.

Brilliant clip - good to see evidence both of the cards getting through to prisoners of conscience and also that the cards help them - makes me determined to send even more greetings card to prisoners this year
nice dear friends
Omar Deghayes on Torture and British Intelligence:
Listen to first hand testimony of former Guantánamo detainee describing his interrogation by British Intelligence agent, "Andrew", and
others (MI5 and MI6) while held illegally in Pakistan, before being
sold into US custody and rendered to Bagram prison in Afghanistan and
subjected to torture.

Kutie29 - Amazingly, I experienced the same problem as you. My younger sister stumbled across a battered Piers Morgan book, one that contained photographs of this incredibly sick torture. She was just rigid with horror and I found it so difficult to explain the occurrences that had resulted in this twisted behaviour. Now she has very little to do with world issues and alters her opinions to suit those of her peers. It continually frightens me that these horrendous actions could have such a profound impact on the younger generation.
I am 14 and i know there is no human analogy for George Bush what he did was truly, truly awful I can't explain to my little sister what things George Bush has done and although every one has the right to no I do not want to that inch of me that tiny little inch tell me to save her from the words "murderer" "killer" "suffering". He has fashioned the human race to believe something. A lie. he has made it accessible to bear arms were shooting some one no longer becomes the perpetrators fault. He has made the word "Different" dangerous and the word "power" fearing. I may be just one person I don't even think I speak on behalf of any one else but if you see it suffering and you turn a blind eye you need look no further than your own mirror to see some one like George Bush staring back at you.
You'd hope the responsibility for torture will go higher than the agents who were actually involved.
