100 Days Petition

Take action. Send an email to President Barack Obama and ask him to demonstrate a commitment to human rights in his first 100 days in office.

Mr President ,

The actions you took in your first days in office marked a major step towards bringing the U.S. government back in line with international human rights standards.

What is needed now are speed and specifics. We are asking you to take these next steps:

Promptly charge Guantánamo detainees with recognisable criminal offenses or release them immediately;
Ensure that those detainees who are to be charged receive fair trials in US federal courts;
Ensure that an independent commission on US “war on terror” abuses is set up.

These are part of Amnesty International’s Counter Terror With Justice checklist for your first 100 days in office.

You can counter terror with justice. I will be counting on you.

Please fill out the form below to sign the petition to President Obama.
