from: William Hughes
On Monday, Jan. 11, 2010, a demonstration, “Witness Against Torture; Rally for Justice,” was held in front of the White House. Its purpose was to demand that President Barack Obama keep his campaign promises to close Guantanamo prison and to end torture. One of the speakers at the event was Jeremy Varon. He is a Professor of History at The New School U. and a organizer with “Witness Against Torture.” Ms. Frida Berrigan served as the MC for the protest action.
