ACLU Pushes to Preserve Evidence in Al-Marri Case
The ACLU asks federal courts to force preservation of interrogation tapes and other evidence in Ali al-Marri's case, arguing destroyed materials could show coercion and unreliability. Al-Marri, a Qatar native held in solitary confinement at a Charleston brig since 2003, was designated an enemy combatant after FBI and other agencies linked him to al Qaeda. The government notes prior findings of potential links to terrorism and security risk, while al-Marri’s attorneys insist preservation is essential amid alleged brutal interrogations and religious rights violations.
