Mauri Saalakhan, Nassima Haddam - Early Beginnings of Secret Evidence Laws (1999)


Listen Later

 A look at the increasing use of "secret evidence laws" to detain, for indefinite periods of times, persons suspected of having ties to terrorist organizations. This flies in the face of all constitutional guarantees and rights of due process.

 In this program, we take a look at the increasing use of "secret evidence laws" to detain, for indefinite periods of times, persons suspected of having ties to terrorist organizations. Secret evidence, which in some cases includes the nature of the charges and the name of the plaintiff, is available to federal prosecutors but not to the defendants. This flies in the face of all constitutional guarantees and rights of due process. And, whether intentionally or not, most of the approximately two-dozen people currently imprisoned under the secret evidence and counter-terrorism laws are Arab or Muslim. With Mauri Saalakhan of the Peace and Justice Foundation and Nassima Haddam, whose husband is currently imprisoned under these laws.
