Hundreds of people are expected to gather at Chicago’s Homan Square on Saturday to protest about an alleged police interrogation facility where detainees are denied basic rights.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Chicago police department reportedly operates a secret interrogation compound, similar to the CIA’s black sites, at the Homan Square warehouse. Practices at the site allegedly include beatings, prolonged shackling and denying detainees legal counsel.
“I have spoken with several people who have been detained and several attorneys who have represented the detained, so people are coming forward, but the more people who do, the harder it will be for CPD to claim this isn’t happening at Homan Square,” one of the organizers, Billy Joe Mills, wrote on the protest’s Facebook event page.
Some 1,500 people are listed as attending, while another 300 have responded that they may be going.
