PRESS CONFERENCE

On Thursday, June 24, at 2:00 p.m. Center for Survivors of Torture we will be holding a press conference at 4102 Swiss Avenue, Dallas, Texas, 75204 to raise awareness about the opening of Center for Survivors of Torture’s new facility and to promote the June 26th celebration of the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. On June 26th each year, the international community comes together in solidarity to speak out against acts of torture and to honor those who have persevered to create new lives after suffering the unspeakable. Dallas’ own Center for Survivors of Torture (CST) is a non-profit organization, the only in Texas that provides mental health support within a holistic treatment model dedicated to the specific needs of torture survivors. You are an important partner in supporting victims of human rights abuses who are reclaiming their lives. Please join us as we raise our voices and call attention to those in the world suffering from tor
ture, and help us celebrate survivors’ tenacity and commitment to life.
