Chipotle to open in April on Marshall

m e n ’s b a s k e t b a l l

Backcourt call ruled incorrect

By Dara McBride NEWS EDITOR

Syracuse’s second Chipotle Mexican Grill will open on Marshall Street on April 5, according to a press release. Chipotle will open in the former location of King David’s Restaurant. The Syracuse Common Council unanimously approved Chipotle’s proposal to replace King David’s on Nov. 8. Hours at the restaurant will be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The Mexican restaurant will serve burritos, tacos and salads, among other menu items. The chain restaurant, which opened its first location in 1993, is known for its combination of fast service and the use of organic ingredients, according to the press release. There are currently more than 1,000 operating restaurants. Nader Hatem, owner of the Fayetteville location of King David’s, said the owners of King David’s are looking forward to Chipotle moving in. “We’re exciting about them moving in and getting more traffic on that part of Marshall Street,” Hatem said. King David’s closed Dec. 24. The Middle Eastern cuisine restaurant plans to reopen in late April or May in the upstairs location of the building it has occupied for 36 years, Hatem said. The location will be “a little smaller and cozier” than the previous location, Hatem said. A new menu is currently in the works for the Marshall Street location. Hatem said the menu is expected to remain as it was, although gluten-free dining options, which are offered in the Fayetteville location, may be added. Construction on the Marshall Street King David’s is taking longer than expected and is still in the process of remodeling, Hatem said. Chipotle’s move into the building is not expected to affect the restaurant’s reopening. Said Hatem: “We can’t wait to reopen.” dkmcbrid@syr.edu

Human rights defender discusses world torture By Stephanie Bouvia STAFF WRITER

To Karen Tse, torture is entirely man-made. “Torture is not something that came down from the sky,” she said. Tse, an international human rights defender, spoke at Hendricks Chapel on Tuesday evening as the third speaker of the University Lectures series this semester. The lecture was co-sponsored by the honors program with the College of Law and the School of Education. Tse primarily spoke of her

WHO IS KAREN TSE? Karen Tse, founder and CEO of International Bridges to Justice, first became interested in human rights in 1986 after witnessing Southeast Asian refugees detained without trial in a local prison. In 1994 she moved to Cambodia to train the country’s first public defenders. She then served as the U.N. judicial mentor.

experience in Cambodia, where she encountered several tortured prisoners, including a 12-year-old boy. It was during her time there that she realized the need for the integration of fair legal systems in countries around the world where human rights are ignored, she said. “I began to realize that it was not only Cambodia, but it was countries throughout the world that had this issue,” Tse said. After her time in Cambodia, Tse formed the nonprofit International Bridges to Justice in 2000 to promote systemic global change and support human rights, she said. The organization works to implement due process of law in courtrooms of countries that do not give people fair trials. There are 113 countries in the world currently practicing torture, Tse said. Of those countries, 93 of them have passed laws within the last decade that say their citizens have a right to a lawyer and a right to not be tortured, Tse said. But

sometimes these laws are ignored, and torture is used anyway, she said. “Today there are laws, but we need to stand up and we need to work,” she said. It is important for human rights activists to lay the groundwork for improvement, Tse said. “I think it’s important that we actually do the work of building legal infrastructure that gives early access to counsel for people,” she said. Tse also founded JusticeMakers, an online program that allows people to apply for a $5,000 fellowship to administer projects looking to end torture and implement due process, she said. She said she wanted to urge everyone to think about ways in which they can support the initiatives of programs such as JusticeMakers and IBJ. “There’s so much more that we could do,” Tse said. “It’s about concrete resources to make it happen.” SU students, faculty and variSEE TSE PAGE 6

Officials made a mistake in the final minute of Syracuse’s third-round NCAA Tournament loss to Marquette on Sunday, NCAA officiating coordinator John Adams said Tuesday in a statement. An over-and-back call due to an inbounds pass from Dion Waiters to Scoop Jardine was not the correct call, Adams said in the statement. “I have reviewed the play in question and it appears from the video that we have seen, that an error was made in applying the backcourt violation rule (Rule 4.3.8). The Syracuse player made a legal play and no violation should have been called,” Adams said in the statement. The play is not reviewable during the game, Adams said in the statement. On the play, Waiters prepared to
