PRINCIPLES REGARDING CIVIL RIGHTS

 

 

The American Medical Student Association:

 

1.             MOURNS the loss of innocent lives suffered by terrorist acts here and all over the world as well as the loss of innocent lives suffered due to response to those terrorist acts. (2003)

 

2.             URGES respect for the primacy of civil rights even in the heightened need for security, and condemns unjust mass detentions, hate crimes, and suspensions of due process in the name of national security. (2003)

 

3.             IS CONCERNED BY the USA Patriot Act, bill number H.R. 2975 – “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism” (10/24/01), and any act that may decrease constitutionally guaranteed civil rights in the name of fighting terrorism. (2003)
