2/10 New York, NY: Conference on Guantanamo Bay, human rights and civil
liberties
Zeeshan Suhail
I'm writing to inform you of a conference that will be taking place this
Saturday, February 10 at the _CUNY Graduate Center_ (http://www.gc.cuny.edu/)
(365 Fifth Avenue, between 34th and 35th sts.) from 1-3 P.M. (followed by a
video screening of the documentary _"Outlawed"_
(http://www.amnestyusa.org/america/index.html) ). I would appreciate it if you could forward the information
to students or anyone else you think may be interested.
The focus of the event is Guantanamo Bay and post-9/11 civil liberties in
America. _ Adem Carroll_ (http://www.mcnny.org/carroll.html) of the _Muslim
Consultative Network_ (http://www.mcnny.org/main.html) and _Lynne Kates from
the Center for Constitutional Rights_ (http://www.ccr-ny.org/v2/home.asp)
will be speaking on their work with the Guantanamo issue and civil liberties in
general as well as giving advice to students interested in careers in the
field. In addition to this specific topic, we want to address the disconnect
between expert opinion on these types of issues and actual U.S. policy, in an
attempt to learn how to make our careers as influential as possible.
The conference will be open to 20-25 qualified students, giving them a
chance to have all of their questions answered and ideas critiqued, as well as
offering great networking opportunities.
An invitation is below, and I would greatly appreciate it if you would
forward it to students you think may be interested.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Zeeshan Suhail

Guantanamo Bay & Post-9/11 Civil Liberties in America
Who are the most influential figures when it comes to U.S. decisions
affecting civil liberties? How do we balance civil liberties with national security
concerns after the 9/11 attacks? How can we impact positive, meaningful
change when states are listening less and less to their citizenry?
_Adem Carroll_ (http://www.mcnny.org/carroll.html) (_ Muslim Consultative
Network_ (http://www.mcnny.org/main.html) ) will speak on infringement on
rights and liberties of Muslims after 9/11
_Lynn Kates (Center for Constitutional Rights)_
(http://www.ccr-ny.org/v2/home.asp) will speak on the state of affairs of civil liberties and human
rights at Guantanamo Bay (and elsewhere) after 9/11
A brief panel discussion will be followed by an open dialogue between the
experts and attendees. Come share your views on Guantanamo and civil liberties
in America and find out how to have the most impact on U.S. security policy.
