Since 2003, the ACLU has litigated for the release of records relating to the treatment of prisoners held in U.S. detention centers in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantánamo Bay. The documentation obtained makes clear the connection between the policies adopted by senior officials and the abuse taking place on the ground.
Jameel Jaffer, director of the ACLU's National Security Project, will talk about the litigation, the documents and the Bush administration's controversial torture policies.
A graduate of Harvard Law School, Jaffer recently co-authored the book Administration of Torture. For more information about the ACLU’s efforts to end torture and restore the Constitution, click here.
Sponsored by Case Western Reserve University’s Institute for Global Security Law & Policy, the lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, click here or call (216) 368-3600.
