Members of Students for Peace, dressed as trainees for the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security
Cooperation, remove a “body” from the EMU Amphitheater on Thursday. Throughout the day, the group staged events that included disappearances, executions, a “die-in” and a massacre to protest the training facility. WHISC, founded in 1946 and formerly known as the U.S. Army School of the
Americas, has trained Latin American military personnel in “counter
insurgency” warfare tactics and
“psychological operations,”
according to the demonstrators.
