• James Yee Visits UT Law School
  On March 20, 2008, James Yee, a former military officer and chaplain at Guantanamo Bay United States Military Base, spoke at the law school about his experience. Though receiving commendations for his military service, Chaplain Yee, after spending over a year ministering the religious needs of prisoners at the Guantanamo Detention Center , was arrested, held incommunicado and charged with espionage, conspiracy and aiding the enemy. Mr. Yee's presentation was sponsored by the National Security & Human Rights Clinic, the Robert Strauss Center for International Security, Mayer Brown, and the Texas Journal on Civil Liberties and Civil Rights. For photos, a webcast of the presentation, and more information, please visit: http://www.robertstrausscenter.org/events/view/40. During Chaplain Yee's visit to Austin, he made time for the students of the NSHR Clinic, sharing breakfast with them and discussing in a more informal setting his thoughts about Guantanamo and the related issues of religion and torture.
