 GUANTANAMO, Cuba (AP) - Cindy Sheehan marched with the mothers of a Guantanamo prisoner, a New York firefighter killed on 9/11 and other peace activists Thursday to demand the U.S. detention camp at Guantanamo Bay be closed five years after the first terror suspects arrived.
The protest in Cuba came as demonstrators in Washington and London, as well as U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, called for the prison's closure.
"What I've read happens in this prison makes me sick to my stomach," the 49-year-old Sheehan said outside the post where Cuban officials stopped the dozen protesters from entering the Cuban military territory to reach the U.S. base's main gate.
