Salaamun Alaykum, I also have a ist of actions that need to be taken - as well as a list of detainee support sites at my site http://freedetainees.org I hope it helps. There are some petitions there as well. If you need anything that's not listed there - please email me and I'll get you what I can, or point you to someone that can. Cageprisoners.com is the most complete site out there. They are based in the UK and do amazing work.
