Human Rights Alert

11-12-21 Occupy Protests NDAA and Indefinite military detentions in the United States
The right for habeas corpus was suspended in direct contradiction with the US Constitution.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is the center of controversy in the United States, and President Obama first threatened to veto it. That threat never materialized. Therefore, the first ever US president, who had in his past served as US constitutional law university professor, signed into law a provision which effectively suspends Habeas Corpus, in direct contradiction with the US Constitution. Already in 2010 the United Nations Human Rights Council called upon the United States to restore the right for Habeas Corpus, which was effectively suspended a few years earlier, through the establishment of GITMO and other "black hole" CIA prisons around the world.

The Sound of One President Caving

By ANDREW ROSENTHAL For a while, the administration encouraged people to think that President Obama would take a stand against the unnecessary and very dangerous provisions that Congress jammed into the annual National Defense Authorization Act. He threatened to veto the whole bill in order to block new rules that would mandate the military custody of most terrorist suspects, and officially sanction their indefinite detention, without due process. Yesterday, the president backed down, completely. The White House announced that he was satisfied with a slightly watered-down version of the bill that was approved by conferees from both houses and would sign it. (Ive written about why the bill is a really, really bad idea here and here.)

More Rubble From the Military Detention Cave-In

By ANDREW ROSENTHAL There are a few issues I didnt get to in my previous post on the National Defense Authorization Act, which President Obama has indicated hell sign. The first is whether certain provisions in the law give the president and the Pentagon the power to detain American citizens in a military facility, possibly for life, without a trial. Lawyers I talked to today said that the bill is pure mush in a lot of areas, including this one. WasPost Posted at 11:00 AM ET, 12/20/2011

Protesters from the Occupy movement march in front of the White House on Dec. 7. (JONATHAN ERNST - REUTERS) During a march in front of the White House on Monday night protesting the National Defense Authorization Act, 11 were arrested, including protesters from Occupy D.C.s McPherson square encampment. The $662 billion measure approved by both houses of Congress would significantly expand the militarys power to detain terrorism suspects indefinitely. The group was demanding President Obama veto the bill.

Protesters were arrested after getting too close to the White House gates, according to Occupy D.C.s Twitter feed. A roundup of photos and tweets from the protest are after the jump.
