Release The Cleared For Release Guantanamo Detainees

Please support the following draft resolution:

Cynthia Papermaster, a resident of Berkeley for 48 years, is on an open-ended hunger strike in solidarity with the Guantanamo prisoner hunger strike. She has committed to continuing her fast until President Obama begins to release the cleared-for-release detainees from the prison. Cynthia Johnson is also fasting for Guantanamo detainees who are cleared for release.

The Berkeley City Council passed a Resolution in October 2011 welcoming one or two cleared-for-release Guantanamo detainees to settle in our community at private expense. Funds are being raised for this purpose, housing has been secured, and private citizens and groups are ready to provide food, clothing, mental and general health care, transportation, and other needs for the detainees.

In light of Ms. Papermaster's dangerous and courageous commitment to the cause of the detainees' release, the Berkeley City Council is making the following Proclamation, and calls on President Barack Obama to do the following:

We commend Cynthia Papermaster and Cynthia Johnson for their courage and commitment and urge President Obama to begin releasing cleared-for-release Guantanamo detainees immediately. Specifically, we would like to work with Special Guantanamo Envoy Clifford Sloane to identify one or two detainees to be released to Berkeley, at private expense, including providing air fare to the San Francisco or Oakland International Airport, housing in private residences in Berkeley, psychiatric and medical care, food, clothing, phone and other necessary support.

The funds for this purpose will be deposited in the Federal Cooperative Credit Union immediately, and will be accounted for and disbursed by a committee of volunteers formed as a finance committee for this purpose. We ask for an immediate response to this request, and upon receiving the response will arrange for the transfer of the detainee(s) to our City Manager, City Attorney and Chief of Police for travel to Berkeley.
