Live-Blogging This Week's Military Tribunals
The Alito hearings are not the only hearings of note this week. Military tribunal hearings begin at Guantanamo. Ari Cover, a senior associate at Human Rights First is blogging live from Guantanamo.
The first hearings Wednesday will be pre-trial hearings of 19-year-old Canadian citizen Omar Khadr and 37-year-old Yemeni citizen Ali Hamza Ahmed Sulayman al Bahlul. Ari writes:
As pre-trial hearings resume Wednesday amidst all of this uncertainty, Iâll do my best to pass along what I learn from commission proceedings (the limit of my narrow invitation to GTMO). At the same time, Iâll try to explore many of the concerns mentioned above â“ the health of detainees; their possible transfer; and potential changes in military commission rules.
He does a great job today, covering everything from the hunger strike to the fact that this week marks the 4th anniversary of Gitmo detentions.
