Quaker Initiative to End Torture Conference

Hear internationally known anti-torture activists Scott Horton and Fr. Roy Bourgeois on September 24-26 at the Quaker Center in Ben Lomond, CA! 

Keynote speaker Scott Horton is a human rights lawyer and author, and is one of the most tenacious reporters and investigators on issues of torture and accountability. 

Special guest Fr. Roy Bourgeois, a decorated Vietnam Veteran and former missionary to Bolivia, is the founder of the School of Americas Watch and leader in the effort to end US involvement in torture. 

Everyone is welcome, but registration is required. 

Also featuring:

Terry A. Kupers - Professor at The Wright Institute and practicing psychiatrist with expertise on the psychological effects of U.S. prison conditions and abuse.

Hector Aristizabal - creative director of ImaginAction, bringing together art and action to heal and enhance communication.

This is the 4th QUAKER INITIATIVE TO END TORTURE CONFERENCE, and we are lucky that it is being held right in our own backyard.

Accountability today is the way to prevent torture in the future.  The road to accountability will be long and difficult.  This 2010 conference will be one strong step down that long path.

Registration for full weekend (incl. room & meals) is $225.  Saturday only (with Horton & Bourgeois) is $75.  Click here for registration and more information
