UNC Asheville will host two human rights events on Saturday, April 2, in
UNC Asheville’s Humanities Lecture Hall. Human Rights Watch Special Counsel Reed Brody will discuss “From Guantanamo to Abu Ghraib: Getting Away with Torture” at noon. A screening of “The Corporation” will follow at 2 p.m. Events are free and open to the public.
Brody is special counsel at Human Rights Watch, the largest American human rights organization. He is author of the recent HRW reports, “The Road to Abu Ghraib,” which examines the roots of the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal, and “The United States’ ‘Disappeared,’ ” which looks at the long-term incommunicado detention of al-Qaeda leaders. He is author of several books, including “Tibet: Human Rights and the Rule of Law,” “Contra Terror in Nicaragua” and co-author of “The Pinochet Papers: The Case of Augusto Pinochet in the British and Spanish Courts.” Brody has led international human rights investigations in Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, El Salvador and Haiti.
The documentary “The Corporation” examines corporations’ rise as a dominant institution in our culture. Using footage from pop culture, advertising, television news and corporate communications, “The Corporation” includes 40 interviews with corporate leaders and critics, case studies and strategies for change.
Events are sponsored by the Human Rights Center at UNC Asheville, the University Center for International Studies at UNC Chapel Hill and the UNC Asheville Amnesty International Chapter.

Are they also going to talk about U.S.A. private factory prisons maintained by non-citzen foreigners?
Who FUNDS these clowns?
Meanwhile, these tenured vermin are clarifying their party line for their massive evil indoctrination of young, naive minds.

Sounds like a balanced conference on human rights issues to me. </ NOT!>
Not sure, but Asheville is a left-wing bastion in the south. It is loaded with gays and lesbians. Nice town other than the freaks.
BTTT!
