The familiar and disturbing pictures of torture and ill-treatment at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison raise many troubling questions:
- How did torture become an accepted practice?
- Did U.S. government policies make it possible?
- How much damage has the aftermath of the Abu Ghraib scandal had on America's credibility as a defender of freedom and human rights around the world?
On October 17th 2007, the first year anniversary of the Military Commissions Act (MCA), we kicked of the "86 Days" campaign to denounce the US governments legitimization of torture. The MCA took the unimaginable step of sanctioning impunity for those involved in the abuses that took place in Abu Ghraib, in CIA "black sites," in Guantanamo Bay, and at other US detention facilities.
Join Amnesty International's "86 Day" Campaign to shed light and speak out against the US government's policies and practices in the "war on terror." By hosting a house party to educate and mobilize activists to take action, you can help end these practices and restore US leadership on human rights.
