With their campaign having recently been kicked off on October 22, New Security Action and a handful of famous musicians and bands are protesting against Guantanamo Bay.
Several musicians are signing an open letter to Congress to close Guantanamo and end torture. They include: Tom Morello, Trent Reznor, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Rise Against, The Roots, Michelle Branch, Rosanne Cash and many more.
The organization spearheading the campaign aims to stop the torture at Guantanamo as its been stated the military prison plays music at "
near ear-splitting volumes" to torture detainees. Some of the bands that have been said to have their music played include
Rage Against The Machine and
Nine Inch Nails.
Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello was just one of the few to state their displeasure for the military prison and their torture methods.
"Guantanamo may be Dick Cheney’s idea of America, but it’s not mine," he said. "The fact that music I helped create was used in crimes against humanity sickens me – we need to end torture and close Guantanamo now."
