UC Berkeley Law Professor John Yoo has been invited to donate a year’s salary (about $500,000) to the Guantanamo Survivors Fund which has raised $92,000 so far. Professor Yoo is tenured and has been honored with an endowed chair at the law school. The Survivors Fund aims to help former Guantanamo prisoners who were released, and who were tortured and held without charge for up to 14 years. Former prisoners need medical care, rent, language classes, tuition, and job training in order to survive and were given NOTHING when they were released from Guantanamo by the US government, not even their belongings were returned that were confiscated when they were renditioned to Guantanamo.
Since Professor Yoo’s discredited and rescinded legal opinions enabled the Bush Administration to establish the U.S. torture program at Guantanamo and elsewhere, it is only fitting and expected that Yoo will contribute to help the men who were tortured at Guantanamo recover from their trauma. We will welcome this gesture of restitution by Professor Yoo in the spirit of restorative justice.
Delicious home-baked brownies, cupcakes and cookies will be sold to raise money for the Guantanamo Survivors Fund. Give to the Guantanamo Survivors Fund | No More Guantanamos Join us and help distribute informational flyers and petitions calling for the prosecution of John Yoo for complicity in torture to students. Orange Guantanamo jumpsuits, handcuffs & crime scene tape will be on hand if needed for a citizens' arrest.
