News Advisory:

Demonstration Planned for Good Friday, April 14

Matthew 25:40: "..as you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you did it to me."

WHAT: More than 200 ministers and church members from different denominations throughout the DC area will participate in a vigil to demonstrate their opposition to the policies and practices of the Bush Administration that allow the cruel and inhumane treatment of individuals detained by or under the control of the U.S. government.

The vigil is part of a growing movement of people of faith who object to the use of torture and rendition by the United States, and who are calling for a full investigation.

WHEN: Friday, April 14, 5 to 6:30 p.m.

WHERE: Outside Vice President Cheney's house, along Massachusetts Avenue near 34th St. NW

WHO: Sponsored by the Washington Region Religious Campaign against Torture and co-sponsored by Peace Action Montgomery. See Web site at http://www.wrrcat.org

"We think it is especially appropriate to demonstrate against torture on Good Friday, as that day asks us to recall a first- century man tortured by an oppressive Roman government. In fact, torture violates the basic dignity of the human person that all religions hold dear," said Linda Gustitus, one of the organizers of the vigil. "Any policies that permit torture and inhumane treatment are shocking and morally intolerable. As people of faith, we are telling this administration to renounce torture in all its forms and to hold accountable anyone who commits, permits or orders torture on behalf of the United States."
