RESOURCES
North Carolina Stop Torture Now is a grassroots coalition of individuals representing themselves and a diversity of faith, human rights, peace, veteran, and student groups across the state.
We aim to stop torture everywhere, and have worked since 2005 to expose and end North Carolina's central role in the accleration and escalation of U.S. torture programs guided by the Bush Administration.
Our special focus has been on the "torture taxis" of Aero Contractors, Ltd. of Smithfield, and Centurion Aviation of Fayetteville. Both are nominally private companies linked to the operation of aircraft in clandestine support of the CIA’s extraordinary rendition program. Extraordinary rendtion is a phrase that disguises the kidnap, detention and torture of individuals alleged to be enemies of the United States, including those guilty of nothing other than being misidentified.
Aero Contractors' headquarters is located at the Johnston County Airport near Smithfield, NC.More About Who We Are - NCSTN Brochure
