INTERNATIONAL DAY IN SUPPORT OF VICTIMS OF TORTURE

Today is the U.N. International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. Take a moment today and do something to support the anti-torture movement. Write your congressman/woman. Make a phone call. Demand the closing of Gitmo. The total disregard for human rights by this administration is beyond disgusting. Let them know it.


“No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification for torture.”
Article 2, United Nations Convention Against Torture
