DESCRIPTION:NO TO TORTURE AND OCCUPATION, YES TO INTERNATIONAL LAW!  In Honor of the 
 UN's International Day in Support of Victims of Torture:  PROTEST UC 
 BERKELEY LAW PROFESSOR JOHN YOO  Friday, June 25, 5 PM  Meet at Berkeley 
 BART station, march to Boalt Hall School of Law  We’ve all seen the 
 offensive photos of torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and have 
 heard that conditions at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps may be even 
 worse. But did you know that the principal legal   architect of Bush 
 administration argument that detainees are not protected by international 
 law lives in our very own backyard?  UC Berkeley Law Professor John Yoo, 
 while working for the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, 
 authored an infamous January 2002 memo in which he argued that terrorism 
 suspects are not covered by the War Crimes   Act or the Geneva Conventions. 
 Yoo’s arguments provide legal cover for the use of torture against 
 detainees, and conclude that U.S. soldiers can’t be tried for war crimes. 
 Yoo was also central to authoring the USA PATRIOT Act!  On the eve of the 
 UN’s International day in Support of Victims of Torture, let’s tell 
 John Yoo and the world what we think about torture – in Guantanamo Bay, 
 Afghanistan, Iraq and everywhere! We’ll march from the Berkeley BART 
 station to the Boalt Hall School of Law.  Then, those who like   will march 
 to the Landmark California Theater to hand out flyers at the Fahrenheit 911 
 opening.  Bring enlarged photos of the Abu Ghraib torture incident or dress 
 as one of the torture victims.  Sponsored by Amnesty International, 
 CODEPINK, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Global Exchange, Middle East 
 Children’s Alliance, National Lawyers Guild, Not In Our Name Bay Area, 
 United for Peace and Justice Bay Area, and   others.  For more information,
