Published time: May 17, 2013 13:21
The hacktivist collective Anonymous is set to launch Operation Guantanamo to mark 100 days of the Gitmo hunger strike with a series of twitterstorms, email bombs and fax bombs.
The three day campaign, which kicks off on Friday, is intended to Raise Awareness in social media of the human rights violations going on at Guantanamo, the indefinite detention of prisoners, many of whom have been cleared for release years ago.
In a statement released earlier this month, Anonymous expressed their solidarity with the hunger strikers, vowing they would shut down Guantanamo.
They have instructed supporters of their global action to use the tag #GTMO17 when the countdown clock strikes zero.
As a part of the twitterstorm, the group has sent out a series of lines to be re-tweeted which highlight reported abuses at the camp.
"The United States is slowly killing men in a prison that should never have existed. #GTMO17
"Theyre not going to be brutalized into submission, and I think the net result will be some of them will die. #GTMO17
When that tube goes up your nose, your eyes begin to water, as it passes through the back of your skull... #GTMO17
