The news comes just days after the release of a man some call the last domestic detainee swept up in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Benemar Benatta, a Canadian citizen, was released last week after spending five years in prison on suspicion of links to terrorism. He is just one of more than 1,200 Arab or Muslim men imprisoned following 9/11. Benatta’s five-year incarceration included more than six months in solitary confinement in a federal jail in Brooklyn. He was kept in jail despite not being accused of any links to terrorism as early as November 2001.
