During the event, youth members organized the action to sign the “Close Guantanamo” petition and submitted it to the USA Embassy in Mongolia.  They distributed the Counter terror with justice campaign materials, dressed up in orange boilersuits and raised awareness on the issues of rendition, torture and other ill-treatment, and demanded the closure of the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. Watch more pictures of the action
