Former Russian Guantanamo Prisoners to Sue U.S.

Eight former Russian Guantanamo prisoners are going to sue the U.S. for holding them illegally, Ekho Moskvy radio station reported.

The most active of the group, Airat Vakhitov, who has been closely cooperating with Russian rights activists and writing a book about Guantanamo, told the radio station that the current life of the former inmates is very difficult.

Two of them have been under examination facing charges of terrorism in Russia. One is dying of injuries he sustained in the notorious prison. <snip> http://www.mosnews.com/news/2005/09/09/guantanamotrial.shtml
