Fri 7 Dec - Former Guantanamo Chaplain Speaks Out
(Glasgow)
7pm for 7.30pm, Masjid Al-Furqan, 19 Carrington
Street, Glasgow
Speaker: James "Yusuf" Yee
Chair: Aamer Anwar
Captain Yee was arrested and imprisoned in a Naval
brig for 76 days in September
2003 while being falsely accused of spying, espionage,
and aiding the alleged
Taliban and Al-Qaeda prisoners. He was held in
solitary confinement and subjected to
the same sensory deprivation techniques that were
being used against the prisoners
in Cuba that he had been ministering to. After months
of government investigation,
all criminal charges were dropped Chaplain Yee was
reinstated to full duty at Fort
Lewis, Washington. He tendered his resignation from
the U.S. Army and received an
Honorable Discharge on January 7, 2005.
