Guantanamo Bay attorneys

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Center for Constitutional Rights has coordinated efforts by American lawyers to handle the habeas corpus, and other legal appeals, of several hundred of the Guantanamo captives.

Only American lawyers have been allowed to visit captives at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba[citation needed]. They have to go through security screening first. And they must agree that they can't speak from the notes they took during their meetings with their clients until they have been cleared for release.

[edit] Complaints from the captives' attorneys

  • Many of the lawyers have repeated claims that their clients have been abused, and are receiving inhumane treatment.
  • Lawyers have reported that it was hard to establish trust with their clients, because:
    • Guantanamo guards had warned them that the lawyers were either Jews or homosexuals.
    • Guantanamo interrogators had previously used the interrogation technique "false flag", and represented themselves as their lawyers, in attempts to get the captives to divulge information they had withheld during their interrogations.
  • Lawyers reported that the DoD had interfered with their ability to meet with their clients, telling them that they weren't spelling their names correctly.
  • Lawyers reported that the DoD interfered with their ability to meet with their clients by both refusing to provide a government translator, and raising bogus national security concerns about the translators they proposed.
  • The body that reviewed their notes, before they were able to consult them, was arbitrarily classifying their notes, so they couldn't consult them. Omar Khadr's lawyer Muneer Ahmad found, on his first visit to the secure centre which is the only place where the lawyers can review their notes, that almost the entire twenty pages of notes he took when he first met Khadr had been classified above his level of security clearance.

US Department of Defense spokemen state they can't comment on individual claims of abuse, but insist that no captive is ever exposed to abuse.[1]
