CCR Staff Attorney Omar Farah and Advocacy Program Manager Aliya Hana Hussain will discuss the important work of CCR's representation of men detained without charge at Guantanamo Bay prison, including winning landmark rulings in Rasul v. Bush, which established U.S. court jurisdiction over the prison and affirmed detainees' right to habeas corpus review. But, nearly 15 years later, dozens of men have remained imprisoned with no end in sight. The speakers will address CCR's ongoing efforts to challenge indefinite detention and military commissions within a Kafkaesque legal system and bring to light the human impact of indefinite detention in the courtroom and beyond.

This event is part of the Leitner Center's Brown Bag Series and open to members of the Fordham Law community.
