U.S. Activists Stage Thanksgiving Fast Outside of Guantanamo Prison 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A group of American activists have traveled to Cuba to stage a symbolic
fast in solidarity with the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. The group
Witness Against Torture set up camp near the Guantanamo prison on
Wednesday. On Thanksgiving Day, they sat around an empty table, going
without food to show support for the 107 people who remain behind bars.
Nearly half have been cleared for release. The activists also called on
the Obama administration to deliver on its promise to finally close the
prison.
