 Vigil outside US Embassy Nov 20th 1-3pm In solidarity with our Latin American sisters and brothers who continue to suffer the deadly wrath of yankie imperialism, there will be a Vigil outside the US Embassy in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, on Saturday 20th November from 1pm-3pm to demand the closure of the School of the Americas, a combat training school for Latin American soldiers, located at Fort Benning, Georgia. Over its 59 years, the SOA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics. These graduates have consistently used their skills to wage a war against their own people. Among those targeted by SOA graduates are educators, union organizers, religious workers, student leaders, and others who work for the rights of the poor. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, “disappeared,” massacred, and forced into refugee by those trained at the School of Assassins.
