SOA Watch/Northeast
SOA Watch/NE is
a grassroots organization committed to working in
solidarity with the poor. It educates the public and
Congress about atrocities committed by graduates of the School
of the Americas (SOA), located at
Ft. Benning, GA. Renamed the "Western Hemisphere
Institute for Security Cooperation" (WHINSC), the
school trains hundreds of soldiers each
year–supported by millions of US tax payer dollars.
Many of these soldiers have been responsible for some of
the worst human rights violations and the most brutal
terrorist attacks on civilian communities in our
hemisphere, including: the massacre of more than 900
people at El Mozote; the Trujillo" chainsaw massacre
of over 100 civilians; the execution of six Jesuit
priests; the assassination of Archbishop Romero and
Bishop Juan Gerardi, and the brutal rape and murder of 4
US churchwomen. This website and its links will offer you revealing insights into this "School of Assassins" and some of the issues which relate to it. Please refer to this site for important information on how you can get involved to help close this infamous school. For more info contact SOA Watch/NE: (215) 473-2162 |
