Given that my documentary centers around torture here in the homeland, it seems appropriate to publicize important events regarding torture and human rights in general. Today has been designated the Day of Action to Restore Law and Justice and thosands will be marching in Washington demanding Congress to restore our constitutional values. I’m disappointed I was unable to attend, but we can all call our members of Congress to ask them to support the following measures:
- Restore habeas corpus and due process by passing the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007 and the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act.
- End torture and abuse in secret prisons.
- Stop extraordinary rendition: secretly kidnapping people and sending them to countries that torture.
- Close the detention center at Guantánamo Bay and give those held there access to justice.
- Investigate wrongdoing and ensure those who broke the law are held accountable.

Day of Action is sponsored by the ACLU, Amnesty International, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, and the National Religious Campaign Against Torture.
