Day 3 of the Student “Definite Detention” Sit-Out
Posted by stoptorture on April 28th, 2007
Today was the culmination of our effort, starting with a handful of dedicated volunteers sitting in Guantánamo jumpsuits in the cold rain in front of the John Harvard statue in the wee hours. At noon, a group of us, joined by habeas counsel Jerry Cohen of Burns & Levinson, LLP, operated an advocacy table in the student center of the law school on what was notably Alumni Day. This is especially significant given the shameful role some Harvard Law School alumni have played in creating and perpetuating the US torture policy, among them Alberto Gonzales and John Bellinger.
Overall, in about 15 hours of advocacy in the past three days, we collected some 300 individual letters to Congresspersons, which, copied to each Senator, amounts to around 900 letters that will be hand-delivered by habeas counsel in DC next week in their push to restore habeas corpus. Let’s hope someone listens.
Below are some of today’s photos of students and Jerry.

I’m curious to find out what blog platform you are using? I’m having some minor security issues with my latest website and I would like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any solutions?

Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between usability and appearance. I must say you have done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
