[Mitai-announce] The Military Tribunals at Guantanamo: An Insider Perspective

[Shankar Mukherji]

Hi everyone,

Next Wednesday (5/2) we will be hosting one of the most high profile 
lawyers working with detainees being held at Guantanamo Bay.  I'll send 
out reminders to everyone who signed up to help with the tabling for the 
event - meanwhile here are the details:

The Military Tribunals at Guantanamo: An Insider Perspective
Speaker: P. Sabin Willett
Date: Wednesday, 5/2/2007
Time: 7pm
Place: 6-120

Attorney P. Sabin Willett has worked for the past several years defending 
a group of 8 Chinese Uighur detainees being held at the U.S. military 
prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as part of the war on terror. Mr. Willett 
will be speaking about the case, and more generally about the challenge 
the case poses to traditional American values of justice and human rights. 
His work has been featured in such venues as the Washington Post and 
Amnesty USA's Northeast Regional Conference.


Also here's an op-ed in the Washington Post penned by the speaker:

I hope all of you can make it.

Shankar
