Petition to Stop NC Torture Flights Now

Petition to Stop NC Torture Flights Now

The Honorable Michael F. Easley, Governor of North Carolina and Chairman Global TransPark (GTP) Authority Board of Directors

Governor Easley: Don’t let North Carolina tax dollars support torture flights any longer!

Whereas, torture is a violation of international, federal, and state laws and is immoral and ineffective;
Whereas, Amnesty International and the European Union have documented that the CIA is engaging in torture flights, whereby people are captured and secretly flown to nations where they are tortured;
Whereas, the N.Y. Times has reported that Aero Contractors is making torture flights for the CIA, some of which are made from Kinston’s Regional Jetport, managed by Global TransPark Authority;
Whereas, Global TransPark is funded by the state government;
Whereas, despite meetings and correspondence with the Governor’s Chief of Staff, and the Board of the Global TransPark Authority, they have failed to adhere to a N.C. General Statutes;
Therefore, the undersigned call on you to meet your legal obligations, set forth in N.C. G.S. 114-15.1 and direct the State Bureau of Investigation to investigate thoroughly Aero Contractors participation in torture flights and take appropriate action henceforth.
