Two human rights groups have won a license to file a lawsuit on behalf of a US-born cleric who’s on the US government’s target list for assassinations abroad. The Center for Constitutional Rights and the American Civil Liberties Union had challenged a Treasury Department designation that would have made it a crime to represent Anwar al-Awlaki in court. Despite winning the license to represent Awlaki, the groups say they’ll continue to challenge the policy that allows the US government to thwart legal representation for US citizens it designates as terrorists.
