Wed Aug 15 2007 (Updated 08/21/07) 8/17: Protest to End the APA's Collaboration with CIA and Military Torture techniques
San Francisco Protest to Denounce the APA's Complicity in Torture A recently declassified August 2006 Department of Defense report confirms that psychologists were directly responsible for the development and use of techniques defined by the International Red Cross as “tantamount to torture.” These techniques are reportedly still being used against so-called enemy combatants in Guantanamo and at other military and CIA - run facilities.

On Friday, August 17th people who oppose the American Psychological Association's role in the development and use of torture by the US marked the beginning of the APA's convention in San Francisco by gathering at the Stone Stage in Yerba Buena Gardens from 4-5:30pm.
