Mohamedou Slahi, imprisoned at Guantanamo for 13 years - without charges
|
This Week on Due Process
The NY Times has called him "collateral damage in the war on terror." Taken from his home in Mauritania after 9/11, Mohamedou Slahi has been held in the island prison camp for 13 years - tortured and never charged.
His lawyers say there was never evidence connecting him to terrorism; five years ago a federal judge agreed and cleared him for release. Nonetheless, he remains isolated and imprisoned along with 115 other detainees, nearly half of whom have also been cleared.
On this edition of Due Process: Guantanamo, torture, Mohamedou Slahi - who has somehow managed to write and publish a book from inside - and the international literary and arts community which has rallied around him.
In the studio: Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU's National Security Project and a member of Slahi's legal team, and Seton Hall Law Prof. Mark Denbeaux, who has been to Guantanamo 75 times, representing other inmates whom he says should also be freed.
It's a don't miss edition of Due Process. We hope you'll join us!
