It is an outrage that the U.S. government put him before a tribunal that is essentially a court of conviction not of justice.

I find it extremely hypocritical that Washington is investigating this group for the 'crime' of traveling to Cuba. The U.S. government is flagrantly violating even the most basic norms of human rights - such as indefinite detention without charges, denial of fair trials and, most importantly, torture. There are far greater crimes at play here than Witness Against Torture's travel logistics.

This lawless situation must not continue, ... Every imprisoned person should have the right to test the legality of their detention. It is this basic principle that has been denied to our clients.

Our political institutions work remarkably well. They are designed to clang against each other. The noise is democracy at work.

If it was left solely to the devices of the government, that wouldn't have happened.

extremely pleased with the response that every element of the federal government, all of our federal partners, have made to this terrible tragedy.
