Legal trouble for US over drones
 [Arab News] A human rights...which often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... group says it is searching for ways to use the British and American legal system to pursue those behind the drone strikes in Pakistain's tribal belt. Reprieve Director Clive Stafford-Smith, a London-based lawyer who has fought for Guantanamo detainees, says there are «endless ways in which the courts in Perfidious Albion, the courts in America, the international courts and Pak courts can get involved" in legal bids to block the drone strikes. Stafford-Smith gave few details of his proposed legal campaign Monday, but Reprieve has seen past success in defending those caught up in the US campaign against international terrorism. The legal advocacy group has represented several Guantanamo Bay detainees, including UK resident Binyam Mohamed. Posted by: Fred 2011-05-11 |
