Press Release: Govt. torture inquiry refusal a 'broken promise' to torture survivors - https://t.co/1ry7zhyA2T

“CIA Torture Unredacted”, the ample opus released last week by @sam_raph, @ruthblakeley and @cr0ft0n worked on the redactions of the executive summary of the SSCI report. Knowledge and assistance by the UK known, it is a legal obligation to investigate https://t.co/HFsLnte4WA

[Sam Raphael @sam_raph]

Announced today: Govt to make "definitive" statement this week on whether or not to establish judge-led inquiry into UK involvement in "War on Terror" torture. Could this be May's (only) positive legacy?

[Sam Raphael @sam_raph]

Listening to HoC debate (https://t.co/JlZBur9UYR), all MPs emphasizing that UK collusion in torture is historical only, and that we are once again a beacon of human rights/rule of law.

That's not what I found when MOD gave me its Nov 2018 torture policy!

Well, that was that then. Big crowd, big day, big report. Thanks to @TBIJ and @CSDWestminster for help on the night. Special shout out to Maggie Raphael - 14yrs old, selling copies hand over fist, propping up the bar right to the end. #nextgen

[Crofton Black @cr0ft0n]

I'm really grateful to everyone who came to help me @sam_raph @ruthblakeley and @cori_crider launch CIA Torture Unredacted last night - as Sam said, initially we anticipated maybe 30 people, so we were very pleasantly surprised.

Q: ‘Are the panel pessimistic or optimistic about the future closure of Guantanamo?’

[therenditionproject @renditionprjct]

Our event is kicking off, with @cori_crider introducing the panel, arguing that ‘CIA torture is not simply a historical crime, as perpetrators have yet to be held accountable’

[therenditionproject @renditionprjct]

Q: ‘What are the limitations of relying on norms of human rights when they are so regularly and blatantly flaunted?’
