ACLU/PEN Event, April 29, NYC -- “Face to Face: Confronting the Torturers"

This week, the ACLU will be co-hosting an event at the annual PEN World Voices Festival. “Face to Face: Confronting the Torturers” will take place on Thursday, April 29 at 9:30 p.m. at Joe’s Pub in Manhattan. The program will include dramatic readings meant to provoke reflection on what it means to “confront” torturers, both figuratively and literally (more information below). Tickets can be purchased online here or at the door.

Thanks for helping to spread the word about this event by forwarding this invitation to others than might be interested in attending.

Hopefully my readers will pass this info along as well!

It will feature readings by Aasif Mandvi from The Daily Show, Alina Bronsky, Mohsin Hamid, Elias Khoury, Sofi Oksanen, and others. With special remarks by Jameel Jaffer, ACLU, and Larry Siems of PEN American Center.
