Road To Guantanamo (2006)
Starring: Farhad Harun, Arfan Usman, Rizwan Ahmed, Waqar Siddiqi, Shahid Iqbal
Directed by: Michael Winterbottom, Mat Whitecross
A compelling docudrama, the movie chronicles the journey of the trio from Britain to Pakistan followed by their capture across the border in Afghanistan to their eventual detention at Camp X-Ray and Camp Delta.
In early 2002, CCR filed a habeas corpus petition in Rasul v. Bush on behalf of Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal of the Tipton Trio featured in this docudrama.
On April 20, 2004 after granting certiorari, the Supreme Court heard arguments and ruled in favor of the detainees. Even though our clients, Rasul and Iqbal had been repatriated while the case was pending, this was the first major blow against the Bush administration and its practices of illegally and inhumanely detaining innocent foreign nationals like the Trio.
CCR Attorneys have published a number of authoritative books on issues of constitutional rights, including --- Rights on Trial: The Odyssey of a People's Lawyer
