In November 2006 Congress passed the Military Commissions Act which narrowed the definition of torture, eliminated the fundamental right of appeal to the courts of one's imprisonment, protected official torturers from prosecution and created Military Commissions that allow secret evidence and evidence procured by torture. 

Legislative efforts are now in both houses of Congress to correct the most heinous aspects of the act. 

Your presence on June 26 will support their passage and help to restore the rule of law!
