Our friends from the Technology and cultural forum and End Violence @MIT
(http://web.mit.edu/end_violence/) invite you to an event about Afghanistan.
Note that this event is not sponsored by Amnesty and might be more political
than our usual events. Details are below:

Join Zoya, a member of RAWA, for an in-depth discussion of the US war in
Afghanistan, its effects, and what you can do. For more than thirty years, the
Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) has worked for a
nation free of war and fundamentalism that respects women?s rights and human
rights. As President Obama backs a corrupt government and escalates the US/NATO
war in Afghanistan, with record numbers of Afghan civilians and US soldiers
dying, it?s more important than ever for Americans to hear from those most
affected.
