您是否會進監獄到抗議酷刑？
星期五， 2009年2月27日
由Sherwood羅斯 您準備為什麼進監獄您相信？ 您是否通過非暴力非暴力反抗抗議酷刑的參與會經受五角大樓？ 如此做了，走了Mohandas Gandhi和Rev.同一條路信念的二個人。 Martin Luther King，是方濟會路易斯Vitale和Jesuit斯蒂芬凱利。 當他們被拘留了，他們分別為75和58。 因為他們在禱告在車道下跪了在美國，他們為拘捕遞交了自己在2006年11月。 軍隊智力中心和學校在堡壘Huachuca，亞利桑那。 英尺. Huachuca被描述了，酷刑指南的來源使用在美洲的臭名昭著的學校。 寫關於他的經驗在「旅居者」，一本普遍基督徒雜誌，父親Vitale認為他和父親凱利「希望提供反對酷刑的教學信件」那些負責和與士兵講話對基地？s 「違法和淫邪」。 哀傷地，為軍事並且為他們自己，他們由圖森， Ariz拘捕并且判刑。，行政官對監獄五個月。 從那以後發布了兩個。 在皇家縣監獄在加利福尼亞，父親Vitale做了一個發現，他什么都更沒有把恐懼： 「我們發現抵抗道路： 我們必須在帝國中間跟隨克服我們的兄弟和姐妹壓迫的職業」。 「我在我的孤零零細胞體會這姿態…，當鋼門叮當響關閉，那裡是投降的自由嚮上帝和這宇宙。 有是自由開放的到同情創造性的電話往我們的全球性社區」。 明顯地，承認現實「那我們的是拷打的國家父親Vitale是難的」。 他懲戒他的國家，因為它做的它「縮回了約束承諾當它簽署了1975聯合國時。 聲明在酷刑」。 那個聲明在文章I上定義了酷刑作為「劇痛或痛苦的所有行動，物理或精神，是否故意地被給予由或在一位公務員的鼓動…」 Father Vitale was disturbed by the photos he saw of torture perpetrated at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, such as “hangings, electric shock, beatings, waterboardings, and other extreme physical and psychological procedures,? procedures he says were ?spelled out in memos emanating from the White House.” These tortures have been used in prisons not only in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, but also in prisons to which the U.S. renders prisoners in Syria, Egypt, Morocco, and other countries. Father Vitale says he and Father Kelly were motivated to protest at Fort Huachuca by the death of Alyssa Peterson, a young U.S. Army interpreter who was trained there. “After just two sessions in the cages, she objected and refused to participate in the harsh interrogation techniques being used—techniques the Army now refuses to describe and records of which have been destroyed,” Fr. Vitale writes. “She became distraught and was sent to suicide prevention training, only to commit suicide shortly thereafter,” Father Vitale added. Father Vitale says he would like to know why Maj. Gen. Barbara Fast of Fort Huachuca, formerly chief of military intelligence in Iraq stationed at Abu Ghraib “has never been reprimanded nor prosecuted for her command failure to prevent it.” He is also concerned that Brig. Gen. John Custer, who succeeded Fast in charge of Fort Huachuca, allegedly integrated “into standard practice” the techniques elsewhere he learned at Guantanamo. Father Vitale said when he was in prison he thought about how “Jesus boldly challenged every barrier to the well-being of all, fearlessly breaking the innumerable taboos, customs, and laws that dehumanize, destroy, or diminish human beings, especially the rejected, the feared, the despised. His life and vision has illumined for me the obligation to say ‘no’ to injustice and ‘yes’ to love in action.” While he sat in jail, Father Vitale said he felt as though he was in the presence of both God and Christ “who gave his life for the healing and well-being of all.” He wrote in Sojourners, “In my small cell, I have a growing awareness of the communion of saints—and the possibility of a world where the vast chasm of violence and injustice enforced by torture and war is bridged and transformed.” How many of the rest of us can say that?
