Govt urged to express opposition to US foreign policy
Amnesty International has called on the Government to express its opposition to US foreign policies during President George Bush’s visit to Co Clare this weekend.
Sean Love, the director of Amnesty’s Irish branch, said Mr Bush’s visit was an ideal opportunity for the Government to relay the concerns of the Irish people.
He said Amnesty planned to participate in protests against the Bush visit.
“We will be having a demonstration particularly focused on the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, hundreds of whom are still held in detention without charge, without trial and with no sign of what their legal status is,” he said.
