Dear Media Watch friends, dear Alan
time to get active:
amnesty international has a campaign against torture.
Go to
http://web.amnesty.org/pages/usa-260605-action-eng
http://web.amnesty.org/pages/usa-260605-action-eng
and sign their letter, or get more involved if you
can.
A fascinating LSE lecture on torture (with Victoria
Brittain and others) is now available as transcript.
Go to
http://www.lse.ac.uk/Depts/human-rights/index_documents.htm
http://www.lse.ac.uk/Depts/human-rights/index_documents.htm
click at document 'Torture the ultimate abuse of human
rights?' it will download.
Good background info.
Best wishes
Sigi
