ACLU seeks OAS probe into Padilla case
The ACLU filed a petition with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights urging an OAS inquiry into U.S. treatment of Jose Padilla. The group accuses the government of labeling him an enemy combatant and subjecting him to torture like sleep and sensory deprivation, plus isolation and denial of access to lawyers and family. The petition also argues Padilla’s mother Estela Lebron suffered rights violations from years of blocked contact.
