Extrajudicial Prisoners of The United States - Ghost Detainees

Ghost Detainees

Ghost detainees are extrajudicial prisoners whose identity hasn't been revealed and whose families don't know their locations. They are thus deprived of any Habeas Corpus rights. Ghost detainees' identities, or indeed capture, have been kept secret. As such they are a subset of extrajudicial prisoners, which also includes all the detainees who were held in Guantanamo, etc.

Famous quotes containing the word ghost:

    Her voice is thin and her moan is high,
    And her cackling laugh or her barking cold
    Bring terror to the young and old.
    O Molly, Molly, Molly Means
    Lean is the ghost of Molly Means.
    Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
