Conscientious Objector Sgt. Camilo Mejia has been released from military prison after serving a nine-month sentence for refusing to return to fight in Iraq. The 28-year sergeant applied for objector status after witnessing the killing of civilians and the abuse of detainees in Iraq. Upon his release, Meija said “I certainly want to continue to lend my voice to the movement for Peace and Justice, of which I feel privileged to be a part.” (Democracy Now, Feb. 22)
