NATO's 60th Anniversary: 6 Decades of Crimes

In April 1949, the foreign ministers of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Great Britain, France, Luxembourg, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Norway and the U.S. formally signed the North Atlantic Treaty to "defend" themselves against communism and the Soviet Union. In response to NATO, the "Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance", otherwise known as the "Warsaw Pact" was formed in Eastern Europe. After the Cold War ended, NATO claimed it acted as "peacekeepers" in Yugoslavia, "provided security" in Afghanistan and "trained" soldiers in Iraq. Come for a talk and discussion on how and why NATO was formed, who it really protects and how its role changed after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Jamal is appealing his conviction for the 1981 killing of a white police officer following a "trial" before a predominantly white jury under a notoriously racist judge. What does this latest development mean in terms of fighting for his freedom?
