If you haven't got your copy of Sophie's brilliant and powerful new book, you can pick up a signed copy in our bookshop in St. Pancras! Thank you so much for popping in @DrSophieHarman, we hope to see you again soon.
Every time I got stuck with Sick of It I would go to @britishlibrary to write, so an absolute THRILL to see my book (now signed!) in @BL_Shop 🤓🥰🤓🥰🤓
Humiliating & structural violence pervaded all aspects of detainee life at GITMO affirmed by the “architect’s” evidence. In a civilized society how it is really possible that torture’s architect is validated as an expert witnesses parading torture practice as accepted business?
Montross refers to a cable that says keeping hair and not shaving as an "amenity". Jessen explains shaving could be a pressure and says it's a stretch to call it an amenity. Points to the example he gave earlier where it had a negative response.
Congratulations to Professor Dan Goodley elected as Fellow of the British Academy sheffield.ac.uk/social-science… @EducationSheff
New article from @DrMeganPrice1 and @ruthblakeley on Guantanamo Bay looks fantastic. The final line of this abstract really stands out. Part of a broader rejection of the “war on terror” as an excess, aberration, exception, or departure from liberal war.
Important article by @ruthblakeley & @DrMeganPrice1, likely to shake up the debate on US torture and the global anti torture norm, it joins interesting contributions from @maxlesch @antje_wiener @Simon_the_Pratt and others. A must-read!
New article with @DrMeganPrice1 - doi.org/10.1017/S02602… - we argue ongoing arbitrary detention & trial through military commissions & mistreatment of Guantanamo detainees who were subjected to rendition and prolonged tortured by CIA amounts to an ongoing regime of torture
Also be sure to check out the video abstract on our website! 📺➡️ cambridge.org/core/journals/…

This thread from the brilliant @carolrosenberg sums up the ludicrous attempts by the US state to suppress evidence of the complicity of multiple institutions of the US state in suppressing evidence of US torture, and who/which agencies colluded in the actual torture
Good afternoon from Camp Justice at Guantanamo Bay. We had a fairly dramatic, if opaque, moment in the 9/11 hearing this morning when the prosecutor invoked the censorship switch on a discussion between the defense lawyer James Connell and the judge, Col. Matthew McCall.
Gaza: Hundreds of thousands of children are experiencing trauma, injuries, illness, malnutrition & more. @UNICEF warns a ground incursion in Rafah would pose catastrophic risks & calls for the urgent protection of children there. unicef.org/mena/press-rel…
If you want to understand the ways in which defence expert testimony is shredding the inept, dangerous and troubling approach taken to facilitating torture by James Mitchell @lisahajjar thread is indispensable.
My thread of live tweeting Dr. Morgan testimony in the 9/11 case. He explains the effects of extreme stress on the brain, and the condition of PTSD among other topics. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1787539…
