Beschreibung

Vortrag von Steven Wax, Portland, OR. „Our government can make you disappear“ – Steven Wax never imagined he would hear himself say these words. In his book the federal public defender follows the incredible but true stories of two men he represented and who were both victims of post-9/11 counterterrorism measures. For no substantiated reason one of them was arrested as a terrorist suspect and the other imprisoned and transferred to Guantánamo Bay – there they underwent Kafkaesque situations in America. Steven Wax reveals a US government who is ready to erode civil liberties in favour of a false security. – Mit einer Einführung durch den Übersetzer Werner Roller, Tübingen. – In Zusammenarbeit mit der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung.
