CCL condemns Guantanamo Bay

The NSW Council for Civil Liberties has consistently condemned the unlawful detention without charge of hundreds of people, including minors, by the US military at Guantanamo Bay.

CCL also condemns the military commissions set up by US President Bush's Executive Order to try the non-US detainees in Guantanamo Bay, like David Hicks.

The Rule of Law is fundamental to our society. No one stands above the law - not the terrorist, not the government, not the military.

You can read the Law Council of Australia's final report on the military commissions (July 2007).

You can also read the Law Council of Australia's official report on the unfair trial process (September 2004) under which David Hicks will be tried.
