James Yee, a Chinese American, graduate of West Point Military Academy, convert to Islam in 1991, captain in the U.S. Army, former Muslim chaplain at Guantanamo Bay and author of “For God and Country: Faith and Patriotism Under Fire,” will speak about his struggle for justice. Yee was charged with espionage and was threatened with the death penalty, but he refused to give in and the government was forced to abandon these charges. Even its attempt to accuse him of adultery and having computer pornography failed — his record was wiped clean and he resigned from the military he loved so much with honorable discharge.
Lecture will be held in Life Sciences Complex Room 105 at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 22.
