In a rare U.S. appearance, author and filmmaker Andy Worthington will speak with renowned investigative journalist Jason Leopold (Truthout) at two events in the Bay Area.


TEN YEARS OF GUANTANAMO: A DISCUSSION WITH ANDY WORTHINGTON AND JASON LEOPOLD

12 noon - 2 pm

Louis B. Mayer Lounge

UC Hastings College of the Law

198 McAllister Street, San Francisco

Andy Worthington will speak on Guantánamo, Indefinite Military Detention, and the Fight for Justice. His path-breaking work continues to bare the truth about Guantánamo and the hundreds of prisoners held there illegally without charge or trial, and tortured. His book, "The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America's Illegal Prison" and film "Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo" have been highly acclaimed by legal and civil liberties experts. In 2011, after working with WikiLeaks on the release of classified military documents relating to the Guantanamo prisoners, he began a new project, "The Complete Guantanamo Files," a million-word series that will continue throughout 2012.

Event hosted by National Lawyers Guild, Hastings Chapter
