Join the POST-PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION with the actors and Professor William J. Aceves, Director of the International Legal Studies Program at California Western School of Law, and Gwen Young, director of human rights for the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice.
Weaving together personal stories, legal opinion, and political debate, this play looks at the questions surrounding the detentions in Guantanamo Bay, and asks how much damage is being done to Western democratic values during the "war on terror."
"Deeply moving... exerts an icy visceral charge."
-- The New York Times
"This is political theatre at its best - marvellously acted, movingly humane, genuinely eye-opening."
-- The Daily Telegraph (London, UK)
Co-Sponsored by The International Legal Studies Program at California Western School of Law, Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice, and Women's Equity Council of the United Nations Association

Protest The Arrival In San Diego Of The "Esmeralda" Torture Ship
The Torture Ship Is Not Welcome In San Diego
Join Us In Protesting The Arrival In San Diego Of The "Esmeralda"
At the beginning of the Pinochet regime in Chile (1973-1990), the Chilean dictatorial government used the sailing ship "Esmeralda" as a torture chamber. According to Amnesty International and the Organization of American States, at least 112 political prisoners were interrogated and tortured aboard the ship without charges or trial. Many of the detainees died on board or were "disappeared".
The Chilean government has never officially acknowledged the somber past of the Esmeralda and it is still used as a Navy Training vessel.
The organizers of Sunday’s protest demand that the Chilean government officially apologize to the victims’ families and that those responsible for the crimes committed aboard the Esmeralda be brought to justice.
Support the following organizations to pursue their work so justice can be served and the victims of the Esmeralda torture chamber will never be forgotten.

"Getting Away with Murder, the Ciudad Juarez Tragedy"
Amnesty International and The International Museum of Human Rights, San Diego present two events featuring Esther Chavez Cano, director of Casa Amiga in Ciudad Juarez and an advocate of women’s rights in Mexico. Speaking through an interpreter, Sra. Chavez Cano will discuss the more than 370 young women who have been found murdered and mutilated in and around Ciudad Juarez over the last ten years. The murders are known as the "maquiladora murders" since many of the victims worked in the maquiladora industry.
The situation in Juarez is an egregious example of the violence against women that is pervasive around the world. The failure of the competent authorities to take action to investigate these crimes, whether through indifference, lack of will, negligence or inability, has been blatant over the last ten years.
