CodePink Activists Arrested for Guantánamo Protest at White House 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A number of activists with the group Code Pink were arrested at the
White House on Wednesday in a protest for the closure of the U.S.
military base at Guantánamo Bay. The group's co-founder, Diane Wilson,
was arrested after scaling the White House fence and attempting to
deliver a letter to the White House front door. Wilson is on a
liquid-only fast in solidarity with hunger-striking Guantánamo
prisoners.
