Colombia Colombia suffers the most dire human rights situation in the western hemisphere. In Colombia, leftist guerrillas fight the state and officially outlawed right-wing paramilitary organizations, which are often allied with sectors of the Colombian armed forces. Civilians caught between the warring groups suffer the majority of the casualties, and 2.7 million Colombians live as internal refugees. Since 2000, the United States has provided Colombia with hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid annually, first under the goal of combating drugs, but now expanded to include a counter-insurgency campaign and protecting an oil pipeline. WOLA is working to educate the media, concerned citizens, and policy-makers about Colombia's human rights catastrophe and the impacts of U.S. policy. WOLA’s Colombia program works toward critiquing and building alternatives to military aid to Colombia, keeping human rights concerns central to U.S. policy, and supporting a negotiated settlement to the conflict.

January 29, 2004 Contact: Sarah Miller-Davenport
sdavenport@sorosny.org

Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the U.S. government has imposed domestic security measures such as the USA Patriot Act that have eroded the human rights and civil liberties of immigrants while doing little to increase domestic security. There have been numerous incidents in which Pakistani and other Muslim non-citizen immigrants were detained without charges, deprived of due process of law, denied access to legal counsel, and subjected to closed hearings. Equally troubling is that these restrictions have set a precedent for the government to enact similar measures against U.S. citizens. These developments have prompted the Open Society Institute to become increasingly concerned about the status of Central Asian and Middle Eastern immigrants in the United States. OSI will administer the grants to the Four Freedoms Fund and the ACLU to help Pakistani and other Muslim immigrant groups advocate for their legal rights.

SELF PORTRAIT (LEGACY)

JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED

AMERICA'S MOST WANTED
Dana Kawaoka, an activist artist, presents her interpretation of the themes of exclusion and alienation evoked in the film:
Artist's Statement

"As a Yonsei (Fourth-generation Japanese American), I am because of those who came before me generationally — as well as informers of my social and political consciousness — of which SELF PORTRAIT (LEGACY) is a visual reflection.
Similarly, as Mr. Korematsu's story illustrates, our Constitution is only as just as those who uphold it. AMERICA'S MOST WANTED explores the idea of what happens when the human vulnerabilities of fear, prejudice, ignorance and racism affect the perception one has about 'other' people."
Artist Biography

Dana Kawaoka is a Yonsei, born and raised, in the San Francisco Bay area. She is an activist artist who received her Bachelor of Arts degrees in Visual Art and American Studies from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1998. She is one of the co-founders of the NOSEI Network and currently resides in San Mateo, California.
