Roughly 100 anti-torture activists demonstrated outside the American Psychological Association’s convention this weekend, The Boston Globe reports.

As The Chronicle described last week, the association’s members are voting on a resolution that would toughen the group’s restrictions on psychologists’ participation in interrogations at the Guantánamo Bay detention center and similar sites. The vote is being conducted by mail; ballots are due September 15.

The resolution’s proponents argue that in “settings that fail to meet basic standards of international law, it is unrealistic to rely on psychologists to challenge their superiors, report on violations, and protect abused detainees.” Opponents say that the resolution is too ambiguous about which types of facilities would fall under the ban, and that the association’s existing anti-torture rules are sufficient.

Last week, a military psychologist who served at Guantánamo Bay invoked her right to remain silent and declined to testify at a military tribunal related to Mohammed Jawad, an Afghan citizen who has been held at the facility since 2003. That development, and the broader interrogation debate, were explored this weekend by The New York Times and The New York Sun. —David Glenn
