Nov. 15 2009--5 taken into custody in Fort Huachuca, Arizona protest

This video is originally from the Sierra Vista Herald, I don't think it's on YouTube anymore. The 2009 No to Torture Rally was held across from the Main Gate of Ft. Huachuca. The 5 who were arrested crossed the street and went around the temporary barricades in an act of civil disobedience.

One man, Joshua Harris of California, refused to give his name, saying he represented victims of torture. He was cited for trespass and not giving a truthful name. His sentencing hearing was April 24, 2010.

Note the counter-protesters across the street and the flag waving bikers driving by on their Harleys. Protesters maintain a quiet presence in respect for victims of torture and as a peaceful witness in the face of this vocal antagonism.

The next rally is in the planning stages and will be held Sunday November 14, 2010. For more information: http://www.southwestwitness.org/

Why do hundreds of people from across the US protest outside this particular military post each year? http://www.tortureontrial.org/fthuachuca.html

It would have been way more exciting if they had opened up on them with pepper spray and rubber bullets. At least then we would have had something exciting to talk about :)
