Massive Protest against the School of Assassins and the continued U.S.-backed Militarization of Latin America weekend just gone.


Thousands converged on Ft. Benning, Georgia this past weekend for the annual protest against the School of the Americas (SOA). 19,000 activist gathered in the largest protest ever to demand the closing of the infamous
military base where countless Latin American officers have been trained in methods of torture and repression. 41 people were arrested for trespassing after managing to penetrate the razor-wire fences surrounding the base to perform civil disobedience.
