Majid Khan's pseudo-trial

jeudi 4 novembre 2021 à 01:00

The jury in Majid Khan's pseudo-trial condemned the torture he experienced and called for him to receive clemency.

Allowing Majid Khan to testify about how the US tortured him served the cause of justice, but prosecuting him based on a confession that was tortured out of him is a dangerous precedent. Under the usual rules of the US legal system, his confession should have been considered inadmissable, the case against him should have been dropped, and he should have been released.
