Today is the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.
Join @No_More_Torture, @PresbyUN, and others in an effort to #StopTorture- by tweeting your members of Congress & the White House against torture, Guantanamo and Indefinite Detention under the NDAA. Also, feel free to tweet on any subject related to the injustice of torture and in support of victims of torture.
Here are some of the hash tags being used:
