National Day of Resistance

to U.S. Torture

Prosecute the War Criminals!

It’s up to the people to act. Torture memos released last month showed that torture is widespread, sustained, and systemic, not an “aberration” but an integral part of the global war on terror. The Obama Administration, which is continuing indefinite detention, CIA rendition, Bush’s executive powers, and denying Bagram detainees the right to challenge their detention, says prosecution of torturers would stop them from “moving forward.” Now Obama has announced he will block the release of 2,000 photos documenting detainee abuse in U.S. facilities.

Torture is immoral and resistance to this IS what is needed.
