DESCRIPTION:ImageIraq combat veterans, Agustín Aguayo and Camilo Mejía, will be 
 joined by fellow war resisters Pablo Paredes and Robert Zabala for a series 
 of Northern California events May 9-18.\n\nJust weeks after being released 
 from a military stockade in Germany for refusing redeployment to Iraq, 
 Agustín Aguayo will be joined by fellow war resisters on a Northern 
 California speaking tour. Agustín served nearly eight months in prison 
 after fighting for nearly three years to be recognized as a conscientious 
 objector. Agustin will explain for the first time why he chose jail instead 
 of redeploying to Iraq.\n\nCamilo Mejía was one of the first Iraq combat 
 veterans to refuse to return to Iraq and served almost nine months in 
 prison for his stand against war. In his upcoming book, "Road from ar 
 Ramadi; The Private Rebellion of Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejía," Camilo 
 gives an inside view of what it felt like to be a soldier on the ground in 
 Iraq. Camilo's book will be available at his events.\n\nPablo Paredes 
 refused to ship out in support of the Iraq War at the San Diego Naval 
 Station in 2005. He is now a GI rights counselor and counter-recruitment 
 activist. Robert Zabala is a Marine recently ordered discharged as a 
 Conscientious Objector (CO) by a federal judge after fighting for nearly 
 four years to be recognized as a CO.\nFor more information
