Event overview
Panel discussion organised by The London Guantánamo Campaign and hosted by The Centre for Cultural Studies
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.
Speakers: Ben Griffin, Veterans for Peace UK; Adriana Edmeades, Rights Watch UK; Dr Juliet Cohen, Freedom From Torture
