AL-KHAADEM FUNDRAISING DINNER

2010

 

16 May 2010 (Sunday)

Sime Darby Convention Center

Honorable Speaker: James Yee


Chaplain James J. Yee is a former US army chaplain and graduate of West Point who served as a Muslim chaplain for the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, that would become controversial for its treatment of detainees designated as ”enemy combatants” by the US government. While ministering to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Captain Yee advised the commanders of the camp on detainee religious practices and objected to the cruel and degrading abuses to which the prisoners were subjected.In 2001, Captain James “Yusuf” Yee was commissioned as one of the first Muslim       vchaplains in the united state army. After the tragic attack of September 11, 2001, he became a frequent government spokesman, helping to educate solders about Islam and built understanding through out the military.

While serving at Guantanamo where nearly 700 Muslims were being held as “unlawful combatants” by the US military, Yee objected to the cruel and degrading abuses and the religious persecution to which the prisoners were subjected. As a consequence, chaplain Yee was secretly arrested and locked away in navy prison in September 2003, subject to much of the same treatment that had been imposed on the Guantanamo detainees. Wrongfully accused of spying, and aiding the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, Yee spent 76 excruciating days in solitary confinement and was threatened with the death penalty.

In the end all criminal charges were dropped and chaplain Yee was exonerated. His story is one depicting a journey of faith and service, and his presentation focuses on the struggle for human rights and justice.
