The Torture Drawings of Abu Zubaydah, Guantánamo’s “Forever Prisoner”,  “Art from Guantánamo, by Abu Zubaydah,” which is currently on display at the London School of Economics (LSE), and a report Andy Worthington from the launch last week. As Andy Worthington states, the exhibition “shows the true face of U.S. barbarism, through a collection of drawings, by Abu Zubaydah himself, depicting his horrific torture in CIA “black sites” during the four and a half years that he was held before being transferred to Guantánamo in September 2006, where he has been held ever since— in other words, for nearly 20 years — without charge or trial. The exhibition was primarily organized by his international lawyer Helen Duffy, and, if you’re in London, or anywhere near, please do consider visiting it. Entry is free, and it runs until June 5.
