: ACS BlogMilitary Judge Cites Harsh Treatment In Barring Some Evidence At Hamdan Trial
A military judge at Guantanamo Bay late yesterday barred prosecutors of Osama bin Laden’s former driver from using some of the driver’s confessions, because they were obtained under “highly coercive” conditions. The judge, Capt. Keith J. Allred, specifically barred the use of statements from Salim Ahmed Hamdan that were given when he was in custody at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan in 2001, reported The New York Times. The judge, however, declined to suppress all statements from Hamdan, like those given during his captivity at Guantanamo Bay. Allred rejected defense arguments that detentions at the military prison were inherently coercive. See ACS guest blog posts from Human Rights First on the Hamdan trial here and here.
