Happy World Travel

Indefinite detention, torture, Islamophobia, Guantanamo, the "war on terror". Ten years after 9/11 this remains the new normal that we live in, and there's nothing funny about it.

But humor can be powerful -- so we at Amnesty International USA invite you to check out our new short video "Happy World Travel", featuring Dileep Rao (Avatar, Inception). What happens when a normal dude named Rob (or is it Raj?!) heads to a travel agency looking for a relaxing vacation? Will he be eligible for the "Not-so Geneva Package"? Could Rob's story be yours if we continue to allow the US to flout the rule of law?

What can you do? Join us on January 11th in Washington, DC for a day of action to close Guantanamo. http://www.amnestyusa.org/jan11

And visit Amnesty International USA's Security with Human Rights campaign to learn more about ending torture and indefinite detention, once and for all.

I thought President Obama was going to close Guantanamo. Where is the change?

[surfinjuli]

@LiquorWithJazz He gave us change. He changed into a republican (censored).

Good clip! The pictures in the end were NOT from Guantanamo though. It's kind of misleading to use Abu Graib photos - also, there would've been bad enough photos from Guantanamo.

@Greggah "Muslim countries" =/= treating Muslims differently in the U.S. That's what Islamophobia refers to - treating all members of a religion based on how a few of them act. What if we treated all Christians based on Jim Jones? Just sayin.

Im not much for amnesty anymore. It used to be about protecting free speech, protecting political prisoners, protecting human rights. And now they talk about "Islamofobia". Even as Muslim clerics and even civilians condemn homosexuals to death by hanging in muslim countries. Even while they rape and kill religious minorities like jews and christians in muslim countries. Somethings very wrong with amnesty when they turn the back on the people they say they protect- All in the name of glorious PC.

They never close it until people overthrow Capitalism.
