Religious Leaders seek torture ban

http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=adb40275f07a7635

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel and Cardinal Theodore McCarrick joined other U.S. religious leaders Tuesday, urging the United States to ban torture.

A statement signed by the 27 leaders, which will be published as an advertisement in U.S. newspapers, asked torture, termed a moral issue, be abolished immediately without exceptions, The Washington Post reports.

The religious leaders are part of a new campaign called the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, the report says. It was formed in the wake of allegations of human rights abuse at U.S. detention centers in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
