Amnesty International Uncovers Human Rights Abuses In Texas

Addison, TX - In what is being exposed as one of the greatest human rights abuses, reminiscent of the gulags of Guantanamo Bay, a local Addison eatery is forcing their patrons to eat flan. As evidence of torture and widespread cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment mounts, it is more urgent than ever that the US Government bring Gloria's, a restaurant that specializes in Latin American food, salsa music, and communist rhetoric, into full compliance with international law and standards. The only alternative is to close them down.

As was witnessed by Amnesty International and many other patrons last Saturday night, the above diner was physically forced into eating the establishments chocolate flan. The director of Gloria's Secret Police (GSP), Hector, who eerily resembles Saddam Hussein, conducted the "interrogation" and subsequent forced-feeding. Throughout the ordeal, cries of "Eat the flan, capitalist pig!" cascaded down on the prisoner. The abuse by Hector and the GSP did not end with the flan. In an effort to weaken the uncooperative dissident's resolve, multiple Mexican Martinis and Top-shelf Margaritas were continuously brought to the table throughout the evening.

The restaurant at the corner of Belt Line and the Tollway in Addison has become a symbol of the US administration's refusal to put human rights and the rule of law at the heart of its response to the atrocities of 11 September 2001. Hundreds of people of many different nationalities are held in effect in a legal black hole at Gloria's, many without access to any court, legal counsel or family visits. Hypocrisy, an overeaching war mentality and a disregard for basic human rights principles and international legal obligations continue to mark this restaurants' indoctrination tactics. Serious human rights violations are the inevitable result.
