Amnesty International has marked US President Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office by alalysing his record on security and urging him to fulfill his promise to close Guantánamo Bay and to do more to stamp out torture.

Amnesty International has called on Northern Ireland to help the United States in their stated aim of closing Guantanámo Bay by accepting prisoners who have been cleared for release. This would be following the lead of the Republic of Ireland, where the Taoiseach has told CNN in the United States that Ireland would take, 'a proportionate amount, a small number' of freed prisoners.

Amnesty International wants the UK to break its silence over 'humanitarian protection' to Guantánamo prisoners to help new US President Barack Obama' close the prison camp as soon as possible.

Campaigners are being urged to mark tomorrow's International Day in Support of Torture Victims. It comes as Amnesty International publishes a new report on the complicity of European government's in US rendition.
