Little Guantanamo

My sister attended the RNC protests in New York City at the start of the month, and, thankfully, didn’t get arrested. However, at least 1,500 others were arrested, and many of them held in inhumane conditions at facilities like Pier 57, also known as “Little Guantanamo.”

Via Tuttle SVC, I have come across this letter on ZNet from the mother of one person detained at Pier 57. She claims to have inquired as to the leaseholder of Pier 57 at the time and found out that it was the Republican Party itself.
