The event will be in the Louis B. Mayer Lounge.
Free admission, open to the public, and wheelchair accessible.
Presented by the Hastings Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, World Can't Wait
(SF Bay chapter) and The Center for Constitutional Rights.
Andy Worthington will speak on Guantánamo, indefinite military detention, the new
National Defense Authorization Act, and the fight for justice against torture and
rendition. His path-breaking work continues to bare the truth about Guantánamo and
the hundreds of prisoners held there illegally without charge or trial, and
tortured.
His book, "The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America's
Illegal Prison" and film "Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo" have been highly
acclaimed by legal and civil liberties experts. In 2011, after working with
WikiLeaks on the release of classified military documents relating to the Guantanamo
prisoners, he began a new project, "The Complete Guantánamo Files," a million-word
series that will continue throughout 2012.
