We can’t have a CIA Director who may be complicit in torture

Sign the Petition › Dear friends, Gina Haspel’s nomination hearing for Director of the CIA is this Wednesday, despite serious allegations that she was closely involved in the CIA’s torture program after the September 11th attacks. We still don’t know the truth about her role in the CIA torture program: take action now and tell your Senators to vote No on Gina Haspel for CIA director. There is credible evidence of Gina Haspel’s close involvement in a CIA secret prison, reportedly in Thailand, where two detainees were tortured in 2002. She is also alleged to have played a leading role in the destruction of videotaped evidence of torture committed against these two detainees. We’ve called on the Trump administration to conduct a full investigation of Haspel’s role in torture and covering it up. That investigation has not happened. Luc, we need you to tell your Senators to vote No on Gina Haspel for CIA Director. We can’t risk having someone who may be complicit in torture and destruction of evidence in such an important position in our government. President Trump has supported torture several times, declaring that he would bring back "waterboarding and a hell of a lot worse" as President. Torture is illegal, and if Gina Haspel is confirmed as CIA Director without the full truth being known about her role, the US government is turning a blind eye to the crimes committed in the CIA program. The hearing is in two days and the necessary investigation has not happened. Tell your Senators: vote No on Gina Haspel for CIA Director. TAKE ACTION

Thank you for taking action, Margaret Huang Executive Director Amnesty International USA
