National campaign to fight torture

WHEATON—Supporters of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT) are working to draw the attention of the Obama Administration to the issue of torture of prisoners, whether they have been determined to be guilty or they are suspects in a pending investigation. 

The organization has designated the month of January 2009 as a time to pray for an end to U.S.-sponsored torture. Social justice advocates point out that torture is a moral issue. For more information on the campaign, visit the NRCAT Web site at http://www.nrcat.org/.
