U.C. Berkeley School of Law activist stocks campus bathrooms with "John Yoo Torture Toilet Paper"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Human rights are getting flushed down the toilet over and over again.

Literally.

In an attempt to draw attention to the practices of former Bush adviser John Yoo, an activist at the University of California Berkeley School of Law installed toilet paper printed with the United Nations Convention Against Torture in bathrooms across campus Wednesday. Aiming to draw attention to Yoo's support of so called Bush "torture" memos, the paper suggests to users that they're party to flushing human rights down the toilet. Yoo became a professor at Berkeley following his stint in the Bush Administration.

"The regular toilet paper at UC Berkeley was replaced with our Yoo Toilet Paper brand," activist Matt Cornell wrote on his web site, yootoiletpaper.com. "This irreverent act of protest was meant to draw attention to the ongoing consequences, of the torture memos."

In a press release, Cornell wrote: "Each roll of toilet paper contains text from the United Nations Convention Against Torture, just one of the many laws that critics say Yoo violated when authorizing the use of torture against detainees."
