GUANTANAMO IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!
Why has former US Army Sergeant Erik Saar in his recent book called the US detention camp at Guantanamo Bay "a drastic mistake"? Why has Archbishop Tutu demanded that it be shut down?
Join the discussion at Boston-area community readings of the play "GUANTANAMO: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom" on the following dates:
Thursday, June 9 at 7:30 PM
Community Church of Boston
(565 Boylston Street in Copley Square)
Friday, June 10 at 6:00 PM
Freedom House, Inc.
14 Crawford Street in Dorchester
Saturday, June 11 at 7:30 PM
YMCA in Cambridge
820 Massachusetts Avenue (Central Square)
All are Free of Charge and will be followed by a discussion of the issues.
The play was created by British journalist Victoria Brittain and writer Gillian Slovo and played in London to sold-out audiences before moving to New York City last summer. Based entirely on spoken and written testimony, it focuses on the stories of five British detainees in Guantanamo Bay.
The community readings have been organized by the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, the Cambridge Peace Commission, the Community Church of Boston and Freedom House, Inc. Co-sponsoring the events are Amnesty International, Brookline PeaceWorks, the Unitarian-Universalist Service Committee, and United for Justice with Peace.
