KUOW Radio Speaker's Forum on Torture

Submitted by Sarah on Wed, 12/14/2005 - 10:05pm.

Jennifer Harbury spoke out against U.S. torture practices long before the Iraq war. Harbury's husband was tortured and murdered in Guatemala in 1992. Since her husband’s death, Harbury has urged the U.S. to disclose involvement in abuses in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Some defend torture as the only means to access vital information that can save lives. Harbury makes convincing arguments against the use of torture in any circumstances. She spoke November 7th, 2005. University Temple United Methodist Church and University Book Store sponsored the event.

(On radio tonight at 10PM, Audio also available via web.)
