WE Tortured Some Folks*
Too
A
panel discussion on
Tuesday
8 December,
at
7-9pm in Lecture Theatre LG02, Professor Stuart Hall Building, Goldsmiths,
University of London, Lewisham Way, London SE14 6NW (nearest underground: New
Cross Gate)
With:
Ben
Griffin, Veterans for Peace UK
Adriana
Edmeades, Rights Watch UK
Dr
Juliet Cohen, Freedom From Torture
On
9 December 2014, the US Senate published part of its report into the CIA’s use
of torture in its global programme of kidnap and torture: extraordinary
rendition. The programme would have been impossible but for the collusion of
other states, including the United Kingdom.
With
the recent return of the last British resident held in Guantánamo Bay and fresh
claims of prisoner abuse by the British army in Afghanistan, we invite you to
join us to consider the impact the use of torture has on individuals,
communities and social and political movements. We will also reflect on questions
of impunity and what the use of state-sanctioned torture says about us as a
society.

* In August
2014, these were the words used by Barack Obama to admit the CIA had indeed
used torture in its extraordinary rendition programme
