City of Chicago Resolution against Torture
By Margaret Power (Contact)
To be delivered to: Chicago City Council
(2) I want to live in a city that opposes torture.
(3) I want to reaffirm the importance of everyone’s civil and human rights.
(4) I don’t want to have to spend one penny for the defense of torturers, as the City of Chicago has done in the multi-million dollar law suits involving Burge and other police officers.
In the fall of 2011 the Chicago City Council will debate whether or not it will pass a resolution against torture. The resolution calls on the City of Chicago to “hereby stand against all forms of torture and inhumane treatment and does proclaim Chicago to be a torture free city.”
