Yumna Rizvi, senior policy analyst, is quoted in this article published by ABC Australia, commenting on the case and others related to detainees held in Guantanamo, telling the reporter that the “prosecution’s case risks being undermined by evidence obtained through, or tainted by, torture. Under both US and international law, evidence obtained from torture is inadmissible.” She says, “It’s much easier for the government to want to cover that up rather than say, ‘We messed up, we violated black letter domestic and international law, and we have to now face account for it.'” Click here for the World Today podcast version of this story.
