Turkmen v. Ashcroft is one of three cases filed by persons who were arrested and detained
after 9/11/01. Turkmen was brought by eight men who were picked up for violating
Immigration Laws by having entered the United States illegally, stayed illegally or worked
illegally. They claim that while in detention prior to their deportation, their constitutional
or federal rights were violated and that they had also been physically abused or maltreated.
The Plaintiffs are represented by the Center for Constitutional R1ghts in New York City.
Here is the link to their web site. CCR The easiest way to find what they are saying about
the case is to type "Turkmen" in the search box. Take a look at what CCR is doing and has
done. You'll find it interesting. Of course, in the Turkmen case, I expect my client will
prevail.
