Graham Legislation Would Deny Prisoners Habeas Corpus

HeadlineNov 10, 2005

Meanwhile, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is preparing to introduce legislation that would deny foreign terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay the right to challenge their detentions in court. Graham said the proposal could be introduced as early as today. Several human rights groups criticized the legislation. The Center For Constitutional Rights said it “will only serve to reinforce the growing perception that the United States has become an enemy of human rights.”
