"The vast majority of
detainees of Guantanamo have not been able to communicate with loved ones who have
ability to contact lawyers in
U.S.," said
legal counsel.

other hand,
government states that
detainees were "dangerous enemy combatants" who are not entitled to
same constitutional protections as Americans because they are foreigners.
Just recently, two district court judges have issued different rulings regarding
rights of detainees to challenge their detention in federal court. The rulings however were conflicting on

detainees' rights. The issue is being appealed in
U.S. Court of Appeals for
District of Columbia Circuit.
The legal director from
Center said this regarding
suit for
detainees, "For all those who remain unrepresented, today's lawsuit is a giant step forward."
