lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, when President Bush comes to Europe on 21 June for the EU-US Summit, I urge you to do all you can to ensure that Guantánamo is top of the agenda. After four years of incarceration in a legal limbo, three men detained there took their own lives over the weekend. The US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for described these suicides crassly and disrespectfully as a ‘good public relations move’. The European Union, the United Nations, human rights groups around the world, have demanded that Guantánamo be closed. From President Bush we need to know how and when. The Supreme Court in the United States will rule at the end of the month on whether military commissions are a legal way to try prisoners. I urge that everything the Union can do to bring pressure on President Bush be done to ensure that the camp is closed, so that people can be given proper trials if there are legitimate charges against them."@en1
