Скачать или смотреть Update on 1st Court Martial in Pvt Danny Chen Hazing Case with Elizabeth Ouyan & Julia Chung

DemocracyNow.org - Army Pvt. Danny Chen allegedly took his own life in Afghanistan after he was abused by his fellow soldiers and superiors on an almost daily basis in what has been described as racial hazing. On Tuesday, Chen's sergeant, Adam Holcomb, was found not guilty of negligent homicide, but sentenced to 30 days in a military jail for lesser charges. Holcomb was the first of eight soldiers court martialed in Chen's death. We're joined by two guests who have just returned from watching Sgt. Holcomb's court martial: Elizabeth OuYang, a Chen family spokesperson, president of the civil rights organization OCA-New York and advocate for victims of hate crimes and fair media representation of Asian Americans; and Julia Chung, a Vassar college senior volunteering for the group, Justice for Private Danny Chen.
