NYCLU Hosts Candlelight Vigil to Reflect on Bush’s Dismal Rights Record as Administration Comes to a Close
January 12, 2008 – The New York Civil Liberties Union and Amnesty International are sponsoring a candlelight vigil on Jan. 13 at Federal Hall to reflect on the Bush administration’s legacy of human rights abuse and look with hope to the future.
Sunday marked seven years since the Bush administration began indefinitely imprisoning terrorist suspects at the U.S. naval facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Next week a new president will be sworn into office pledging to restore the nation’s commitment to human and Constitutional rights. Tuesday’s vigil will remind President-elect Obama that New Yorkers expect him to keep that promise.
What: Remembering Yesterday, Looking Toward Tomorrow: A Vigil to Reflect on Guantánamo, Torture, Detention and the Legacy of Rights Abuses of the Bush Administration
Where: Federal Hall, 26 Wall St. in Manhattan
When: Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 4:30 p.m.
Bring candles!
