NO MORE SECRETS
Dear Friend of CCR,
Innocent CCR client Maher Arar was changing planes at JFK on his way home to Canada from a family vacation when he was detained by the U.S. and 'rendered' to Syria, where he was tortured and held for nearly a year. A Canadian Commission of Inquiry formed to investigate Maher's case released its findings this week: the Commissioner said, "I am able to say categorically that there is no evidence to indicate that Mr. Arar has committed any offence..." Tell your representatives that the Administration’s practice of extraordinary rendition is unlawful, and demand that the U.S. government release all documents related to Maher and clear his name.
We’ve produced a short VIDEO dramatizing Maher's experience you can watch on YouTube. Please give it a look and rate it highly so that more people will see it—if it gets on the front page of their site, half a million people will learn about the abuses our government is perpetrating in our name. Then tell 10 of your friends to watch it too. 'Extraordinary rendition,' like so many of the Bush administration’s practices, depends on secrecy. By sharing this video with as many people as possible, you can help us end the secrecy that enabled Maher's torture and detention.
Maher's story shows how our government's practices in the so-called 'war on terror' can have horrific results. Yet Congress is trying to strip all detainees of the right to challenge their detention and be heard in a court of law. On Wednesday, Representative Edward J. Markey (D-MA) introduced five "resolutions of inquiry" aimed at forcing the release of U.S. government documents related to Maher Arar.
For a more in-depth look at Maher's case, visit No More Secrets , our new website dedicated to countering the secrecy of the Bush administration.
So, to recap:
- Write your elected representatives
- Watch and rate the video
- Visit No More Secrets
Together, we can finally achieve justice for Maher Arar.
Thank you for your support,
Vincent Warren
Executive Director
