DESCRIPTION:Organization: Survivors of Torture, International 
 (SURVIVORS)\n\nDescription: The featured speaker will be Carlos Mauricio, a 
 torture survivor from El Salvador. \n\nCarlos was working as a professor at 
 the University of El Salvador when he was abducted and taken to National 
 Police Headquarters. There, Carlos was detained and tortured for nearly two 
 weeks. He suspects that his torturers chose him because he had been 
 outspoken against the government in El Salvador. Upon his release, Carlos 
 fled to the United States. In 2002, Carlos testified about his torture in a 
 U.S. federal court in Florida. The jury found two retired Salvadoran 
 generals responsible for torture, rape and other atrocities. Carlos is now 
 dedicated to helping other survivors begin to tell their stories.\n\nThe 
 expressive arts group Owl & Panther is coming from Tucson, AZ to join the 
 event. The Owl & Panther Project offers creative writing, counseling, and 
 community service programs to help youth whose families have been affected 
 by torture and trauma. \n\nThe event will conclude with live music 
 performers and a reception of wine and gourmet chocolate 
 desserts.\n\nTickets:	$50; limited seating.\n\nFor tickets:	(619) 278-2400
