The New York Times called him “quite possibly the best political comedian working in the country today.” Will Durst’s performances are made possible by the First Amendment. The meeting will be held in the Rosa Parks Room of the SFSU Student Center at 1:00 p.m. Social time will follow. The hospitality hostess for this meeting is Marian Anderson.

  • US Failure to Prosecute Senior Officials for Torture
    DENIAL OF JUSTICE: THE UNITED STATES’ FAILURE TO PROSECUTE SENIOR OFFICIALS FOR TORTURE1 Materials Submitted in Support of Hearing on Human Rights Situation of People Affected by the U.S. Rendition, Detention, and Interrogation Program before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights 156th Ordinary Period of Sessions October 23, 2015 Key Facts and Arguments Officials at the highest levels of the United States government created, designed, authorized, and implemented a sophisticated, international criminal program of torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. In August 2014, President Barack Obama conceded that the United States tortured people as part of its “War on Terror.” In December 2014, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released the Executive Summary of its report on the Central Intelligence Agency’s detention and interrogation program, providing further evidence of state- sanctioned torture. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and other human rights authorities have called on the United States to conduct an in-depth and independent investigation into all allegations of torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, and to prosecute and punish those responsible. To date, the United States has declined to prosecute any senior officials for these crimes. Moreover, the United States has taken active steps to shield these officials from liability. The United States is thus in violation of its human rights obligations. 1 This submission is an adaptation of the shadow report to the United Nations Committee Against Torture on the Review of the Periodic Report of the United States of America prepared and submitted by Advocates for U.S.
