Inaugurate Justice, Close Guantánamo

On January 11, 2013, the 11th anniversary of the opening of Guantánamo, after the official protest in Washington D.C. came to an need -- consisting of a rally at the Supreme Court, and a march to the White House -- a group of protestors, mainly with the anti-torture group Witness Against Torture, decided to proceed to the White House, to tie 166 orange ribbons on the fence -- one for each of the men still held. The slogan on this banner is a reminder of the proximity of the Guantánamo anniversary to the inauguration of Barack Obama in his second term as the President of the United States, taking place on Sunday January 20, 2013.
