Attorneys representing detainees at Guantanamo argued in court yesterday that none of the detainees have been given a chance to appear in a courtroom despite the Supreme Court’s ruling three months ago that declared the jailed men have the right to challenge their imprisonment in U.S. courts.
The Washington Post reports that defense attorneys yesterday told a U.S. District Court judge that only a handful of the detainees have even spoken to their lawyers so far. And lawyers said the government has also broken a court-ordered Sept. 30 to justify why they are detaining each man.
