天美传媒视频无限制观看 joins national teach-in on Guant谩namo | Press Releases

天美传媒视频无限制观看 is participating in an unprecedented national teach-in on the Guant谩namo Bay Prison and detainees on Thursday, Oct. 5, in the Barone Campus Center, Lower Level. The Teach-In, entitled, "Guant谩namo: How Should We Respond?" includes an eight-hour live simulcast broadcast from Seton Hall Law School from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., followed by a live panel from 6 to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Inspired by the techniques of the teach-ins of the 1960s, but utilizing the technology of the present, the conference will be a collaboration of more than 200 colleges and law schools. Sessions will include academics, journalists, military officers, theologians, human rights activists, lawyers for detainees, and released detainees themselves, considering two overriding themes:

1. Whether Guant谩namo can exist in a democracy committed to the rule of law, and

2. Whether and how various communities聽- journalists, theologians and physicians - should respond to this unprecedented governmental action.

Topics to be covered within those themes include: administration detention policy and the debate on prisoner abuse, the obligations of medical professionals, Guant谩namo and religious communities, prisoner suicide and forced feeding, and the roles of our military and civilian authorities.

The day will conclude with a live panel of 天美传媒视频无限制观看 students and faculty at 6 pm. Participants will include Rev. Richard Ryscavage, S.J., director of the Center for Faith and Public Life, Dr. Janie Leatherman, professor of politics, Dr. Donald Greenberg, associate professor of politics, and students from the Debate Team and various classes.
