- What: “Drugs, Guns and US Policies in Mexico”
- When: October 9 at 7 pm
- Where: Confer 127
When Francisco Cerezo’s three brothers were arrested in Mexico for student activism, they never dreamed they would be held—and tortured—for 7 years, while friends and family fought for their release. Come hear Francisco’s story, and find out what U.S. Drug War policies, gun laws, and military aid have to do with repression of prisoners of conscience in Mexico.
Francisco Cerezo will be joining us from Mexico City, where he has 11 years of experience fighting for the freedom of political prisoners. He is a founding member of Comité Cerezo
