Lynne Stewarts Ask Court if Gov’t Illegally Spied On Her

HeadlineJun 20, 2006

There is an update in the case of Civil rights attorney Lynne Stewart — she is the New York attorney convicted of terror-related charges for her work representing her imprisoned client, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman. Stewart filed court papers on Monday seeking to learn whether any warrantless or illegal electronic surveillance was conducted on her or anyone involved in her case. Stewart maintains that the government’s case against her would be compromised if it engaged in illegal surveillance. The Bush administration has already admitted it monitored jailhouse conversations between Stewart and her client.
