An Evening of Voices Against Torture
Friday Jan 11 6:00 pm
NYC - St Mary's Church 521 West 126th Street
Dr. Steven Reisner, Rev. N.J. L'Heureux and organizers with World Can't Wait.
January 11th marks the anniversary of when the U.S. opened its torture camp at Guantanamo. Bush claims “ the U.S. does not torture” as he orders the destruction of videotapes that document the C.I.A. torturing prisoners. Torture is emblematic of the Bush agenda and direction it is taking society. At a time when no "viable candidate" is calling for the immediate repeal of the Military Commissions Act or the Patriot Act, it is on the people to bring these crimes to a halt.
Join us Jan 11
Speakers include:
Dr. Steven Reisner, a psychoanalyst and faculty member at NYU Medical School and at the International Trauma Studies program at Columbia. Dr Reisner has been on the forefront of the campaign to ban psychologist involvement in detainee interrogations.
Rev. N.J. L'Heureux, Executive Director of Queens Federation of Churches and outspoken minister against torture.
The evening will feature members of the law community who will discuss the legal precedent that has been set by the U.S. government’s use of torture and passing the Military Commissions Act, along with organizers from World Can’t Wait who will present plans to make January a month of resistance to the monstrous crimes being committed in our name.
