What: Remembering Guantanamo: Reflections from a Former Muslim Prisoner & the Former Muslim Chaplain, moderated by Dr. Maha Hilal
When: Sunday January 9 at 4 pm ET, 10 pm Serbia time.
Mansoor Adayfi was a prisoner in Guantanamo when U.S. Army Captain James Yee, one of the first Muslim chaplains, became a victim of the same Islamophobia the prisoners were subjected to. Imprisoned on unsubstantiated charges of terrorism, James ultimately received an honorable discharge. James only recently learned of the men's solidarity with him, when Mansoor sent him the support letter written in 2004 (which was never mailed by the military, but was returned to Mansoor when he was transferred to Serbia). This promises to be a powerful, moving event.
