nonviolent
student demonstration against torture and indefinite
detention, outside an event hosted by the CIA & Dept

Homeland Security at the Harvard Science Center
tomorrow.

"This demonstration does not have our approval and you
will not be allowed to demonstrate."

right
to speak out against the CIA & Dept of Homeland
Security.

STAND UP FOR FREE SPEECH. TOMORROW. TUESDAY.

>From 2:55 to 3:15 outside the Science Center.

*******************************************************
Original Announcement for the Demonstration:

J U S T S A Y N O

TO THE TORTURE, THE KILLINGS & THE INTERNMENT CAMPS

Harvard is bringing the CIA and Department of Homeland
Security to our very own Science Center this Tuesday.

Not in our name. Not on our campus.

Stand up for life, liberty and justice.

TUESDAY. 4/12. 2:55 PM. SCIENCE CENTER.

****************************************************************

One year ago, it was revealed that Iraqi prisoners
were being
tortured at Abu Ghraib. The CIA was recently found
responsible
for the torture techniques and the deaths of several
detainees.
And as The Times has confirmed, the CIA has been
rendering many
U.S. prisoners to countries that routinely practice
torture.

Three years ago, the INS - now a wing of the
Department of
Homeland Security - rounded up thousands of Muslim,
South Asian
& Arab American immigrants. Most were indefinitely
held for
months in INS internment camps with no evidence of any
crime.

Between 1950 and 1990, the CIA assisted in
overthrowing numerous
democratically elected governments, from Iran to
Chile. Through
the 1980s, the CIA advised & armed death squads in El
Salvador,
Guatemala & Nicaragua that took the lives of 200,000
civilians.

And twenty years ago in Afghanistan, the CIA provided
training
to mujahedeen to launch attacks on the Russians. One
of their
students was Osama Bin-Laden. On 9/11, the mujahedeen
came back
to attack civilians, and the CIA did nothing to
prevent it.

*****************************************************************
Why is Harvard welcoming recruiters from agencies that
torture,
detain innocent people, & overthrow democracies around
the world?

Isn't it time we hold them responsible for what
they've done?

Join us Tuesday as we say: Not in our name. Not on our
campus.

Sponsored by: Harvard Social Forum Antiwar Caucus,
Harvard No War,
Society of Arab Students, Harvard Union of
Anti-Authoritarians
