國會抵抗Guantánamo發行
星期二， 2009年5月12日
當立法委員在我們的鄰里amped喊叫反對發布Guantánamo 「恐怖分子」，法國同意接受小組繼續急切要求17中國維吾爾發行美國的「被清除的」 Guantánamo囚犯和人權。 政府宣稱是沒有威脅到國家安全。 民主黨被帶領的議院撥款委員會在伊拉克和阿富汗上星期通過法案資助戰爭，但剝離了超過Barack Obama總統請求關閉監獄和開始它的240個囚犯的拆遷的$50百萬。 兩個黨的立法委員要求了Obama管理禮物一個計劃為結束Guantánamo和詳述什麼將做與它的囚犯。 共和黨立法委員說問題是Obama的弱點的例子在國家安全并且指責了危及美國的總統。 公民。 他們提出了題為「保留恐怖分子的立法在將排斥運動的Guantánamo囚犯對所有美國的美國行動外面」。 設施，除非由接收狀態的州長和立法機關批准。 「我們的組成部分在他們的鄰里不想要這些恐怖分子」， A.說議院少數黨領袖約翰。 Boehner，一名共和黨人從俄亥俄。 幾位民主人士在說他們在他們的狀態或區也加入了共和黨人不想要Guantánamo囚犯。 政府官員未認為何處被拘留者會去，但他們拒绝了美國的想法。 公民在1月前會面對所有風險從關閉監獄。 「我們不投入在危险中這個國家的人民的安全」，埃里克H.檢察長。 持有人Jr。 告訴了一個國會聽證會。 有些觀察員說，在國會飛機推遲起飛反對Guantánamo被拘留者，立法委員出現合併二個不同小組囚犯： 為發行被清除了的那些人，因為他們不造成威脅美國。 在美國將被扣留的國家安全和人。 要等候試驗在聯邦法庭或者誰不可能被審判，而是被視為太危險以至於不能發布。 在前類別是美國的17中國種族維吾爾。 姿勢說沒有安全風險，但誰被扣留了免費七年在Guantánamo海灣。 他們持續的拘留由一個聯邦區域法院發現不合法於1月。 法院定購了維吾爾被釋放進入美國。 因為他們不可能返回到指定的中國酷刑威脅那裡，并且，因為其他國家沒有同意接納他們。 But a U.S. Appeals Court reversed that decision when it held that federal courts have no jurisdiction over immigration law and thus are powerless to order the men released into the U.S. even if their continued detention is illegal. The Uighurs’ lawyers, including the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), a legal advocacy group, has asked the Supreme Court to hear the case. In a friend-of-the-court brief filed May 8, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) joined the CCR’s plea. Jennifer Chang Newell, a staff attorney with the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project, said, “The Constitution requires that where a federal court has found a detainee’s imprisonment to be illegal, the court must have the power to order his release – including release into the United States when necessary to end the unlawful detention.” “Permitting the government to hold these men indefinitely violates the Constitution and threatens to render habeas corpus a dead letter,” she said. Uighurs are a Turkic ethnic group living in Eastern and Central Asia. In related developments, the government announced that two long-imprisoned Guantánamo detainees would soon be released. As indicated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy during President Obama’s recent visit to Europe, France will take in one Guantánamo detainee who has been held prisoner by the U. S. at Guantánamo since 2002. Lakhdar Boumediene, 43, was arrested along with five other Algerians in 2001 in Bosnia, suspected in a bomb attack plot against the U.S. embassy in Sarajevo. A U.S. federal judge ruled in November that the evidence against Boumediene was not credible and ordered him set free. Boumediene is well known in legal circles because it was in his name that civil liberties attorneys argued at the U.S. Supreme Court the most recent case of prisoners’ right to seek their release through habeas corpus petitions. The court ruled in favor of the detainees in the case, Boumediene v. Bush. The detainee the U.S. government has now agreed to release is Ayman Batarfi, 38, a Yemeni surgeon who reportedly treated al-Qaeda wounded at Tora Bora in Afghanistan. The government’s decision came as part of a case-by-case review ordered by President Barack Obama to empty the prison camps here by January 2010. Batarfi had told a military review panel in 2005 that he was a humanitarian worker who found himself at the battle of Tora Bora in 2001 while Osama bin Laden was in the area, according to a Pentagon transcript. He said he did not respect the al-Qaeda leader, whom he called “a coward.” Batarfi is the third detainee whose release has been ordered during the Obama administration. In addition to Boumediene and Batarfi, an Ethiopian-born British resident, Binyam Mohamed, was sent back to Britain a month into the Obama administration. Along with five other Guantánamo detainees, Mohamed has filed lawsuits both in the U.S. and Britain. In the U.S., he is suing a subsidiary of the Boeing company, Jeppesen Dataplan, for being complicit with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in facilitating his rendition and torture. While the government invoked the so-called state-secrets privilege to keep the case out of court, a federal appeals court has ruled that the suit should proceed. His British lawsuit charges that British intelligence services cooperated with U.S. authorities in his rendition and torture. The suit has caused a diplomatic furor in Britain, where the foreign secretary, David Miliband, intimated that evidence of British complicity had to be kept secret under threat from the U.S. to stop sharing intelligence with Britain if details were disclosed in court. But the British High Court announced last week that it will reopen its judgment that details of the torture of the former Guantánamo Bay detainee must be kept secret. Clive Stafford Smith, director of the legal charity Reprieve, one of Mohamed’s attorneys, told IPS, “It is long past time that this evidence was made public. How can it be that two governments that purport to uphold the rule of law be working together to cover up crimes committed against Binyam Mohamed?” In the Batarfi case, a major factor in the decision of the Justice Department was a federal judge’s finding that the government improperly withheld important psychiatric records of a government witness who was used in a “significant” number of Guantánamo cases. The judge said the government had censored parts of the records, showing that the witness, a fellow detainee, was being treated for a serious psychological problem. That witness provided information in the government’s case for detaining Batarfi. There are nearly 100 Yemenis among the approximately 240 Guantánamo captives. Bush administration officials never succeeded in negotiating a repatriation agreement for those who had been earlier approved for release.
