iceandfire have joined with Reprieve to spread the word about those who have suffered torture and abuse under the CIA's counter-terror method known as 'extraordinary rendition', using a viral video campaign based on iceandfire's outreach script Rendition Monologues.
See the 2 minute video online now, at www.renditionmonologues.org
You can also come to see a performance of Rendition Monologues in London on 24 May at the Southwark Playhouse
We are calling for a full inquiry, by both the US and UK Governments, into the allegations of torture made by rendition victims. Please pass on this email to spread understanding of what has happened and to find out what you can do to help!

Stay tuned....
