U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee, will speak at Brandeis next Monday as part of the University's observance of Martin Luther King Day, according to a University press release.
In his speech, Levin will discuss human rights abuses at the U.S. prisons of Abu Ghraib in Baghdad and Guantanamo in Cuba.
A panel discussion with Prof. Ibrahim Sundiata (AAAS), Guy Raz '96, a defense correspondent for National Public Radio and Prof. Mari Fitzduff (COEX), will follow the talk, after which Levin will take questions from the audience.
First elected to the Senate in 1978, Levin voted against American intervention in Iraq in 2002 and recently voted in favor of setting a timetable for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
Co-sponsors are the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism; the Brandeis Black Student Organization; the student organization Gen Ed Now; the Brandeis Orthodox Organization; the International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life; MLK Scholars & Friends; the Brandeis Chaplaincy; and the Division of Student Life.
