Protests in Bermuda against transfer of Uighurs

The citizens of Bermuda are protesting the transfer of four Chinese Uighurs from Guantanamo Bay to Bermuda. They are calling on Premier Ewart Brown. The decision to bring four Guantanamo detainees to Bermuda was made without consulting with the Governor or the UK Government.

The Royal Gazette reported:

Hundreds of people gathered in front of the Cabinet building this afternoon to call for the Premier to step down following his decision to bring four Guantanamo detainees to Bermuda without consulting with the Governor or the UK Government.

The huge crowd first heard speeches by rally organisers outside Sessions House demanding Dr. Ewart Brown’s resignation, before marching en masse to the Cabinet lawn.
