Prisoners without Trials
Since September 11th 2001 the United States government and
military has rounded up thousands of individuals here in the
U.S. and abroad and are holding them without charges or trials.
Some individuals are being held on immigration violations while
others are being called enemy combatants or unlawful combatants
These prisoners are both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals
who are being denied access to legal counsel and family. Some
are being held at military compounds here in the U.S. and some
in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
This web site is dedicated to providing information about these
cases and the legal battles over the governments actions during
the war on terror.
