DESCRIPTION:Chaplain James Yee: From Guantanamo Bay to San Francisco Bay Area Tour 
 \n\nSaturday, Oct.18, 7:00 PM \nBerkeley Fellowship of Unitarian 
 Universalists’ Hall \n1924 Cedar (@ Bonita), Berkeley \n\nChaplain James 
 Yee is a former US Army Chaplain and graduate of West Point who served as 
 the Muslim Chaplain for the US prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. While 
 ministering to prisoners there, he objected to the cruel and degrading 
 abuses to which they were subjected. He was then arrested and imprisoned in 
 a Naval brig for 76 days in Sept. 2003, falsely accused of spying and 
 aiding terrorists. He was held in solitary confinement and subjected to the 
 same sensory deprivation techniques that were being used against the 
 prisoners. After months of investigation, all charges were dropped. Yee 
 received an Honorable Discharge from the Army in 2005 and was awarded the 
 Army Commendation medal for “exceptional meritorious service”. His 
 gripping account of his Guantanamo experience and subsequent struggle for 
 justice is entitled “For God and Country: Faith and Patriotism under 
 Fire”. \n\nSponsored by BFUU Social Justice Committee, et al. 
 \nWheelchair accessible, donations requested, no one turned away for lack 
 of funds \n\n[This event has been previously listed here as starting at 
 7 AM (rather than PM), although the correct time is in the body of that 
 post.]\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/10/18/18545281.php
