Act Against Torture at Feinstein, Pelosi, Boxer Offices

by Steve M. (ActAgainstTorture [at] riseup.net)
Bay Area residents delivered a life-size guantanamo cage to federal legislators on September 28, the culminating day of the Declaration of Peace's week of action, calling for a filibuster Against Torture "Compromise" (SB 3930). Act Against Torture called on Feinstein, Boxer, and Pelosi to reject Republican proposals, and push for real justice for detainees.

On Sept 28, 2006, the culminating day of the Week of Action called by the organization Declaration of Peace, Act Against Torture and friends dressed in orange jumpsuits and T-shirts, and attempted to deliver a near-life-sized Guantanamo cage to California Senators Feinstein and Boxer, and to San Francisco's Representative Pelosi, to dramatize and demand an end to the reprehensible torture and indefinite detention that our legislators have enabled or failed to prevent over the past five years at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, Abu Ghraib in Iraq, Bagram AFB in Afghanistan, and in secret prisons and other torture-sites all over the world.
