Description

This free event will be hosted by Gareth Peirce, Danny Glover,
Wallace Shawn, Kathleen Chalfant and Deborah Eisenberg.

As the tenth anniversary of September 11th is commemorated across the
country, most public attention to the civil liberties and human rights
abuses of the US "War on Terror" still focuses overseas to the abuses
at Guantanamo, Bagram, and CIA rendition sites.

Family members will tell their own stories of the human and civil rights
violations here in US courts and prisons, stories of the inhumane
conditions of confinement terror suspects face pre-trial and
post-conviction; of over-reaching material support charges often
accompanied by flimsy evidence; of years of intrusive and often illegal
government surveillance; of FBI informants disrupting mosques and
instigating conspiracies.

Featured speakers will include family members of the Newburgh Four,
Fahad Hashmi, Lynne Stewart, the Holy Land Five, Tarek Mehanna, the Fort
Dix Five, Ahmed Abu-Ali and Shifa Sadequee among others.
