The ACLU charged that "despite these reports and Petitioners' and other detainees' credible allegations of torture and inhumane treatment, the US government has failed to conduct any comprehensive criminal investigation, has not held accountable those responsible, and has not provided any form of redress to Petitioners and the many other victims and survivors of US torture and abuse."
It added: "Since a remedy for these men has been denied in American courts, these six courageous men are seeking to hold the US government accountable on the world stage," said Steven Watt, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Human Rights Program.
"No high-ranking government officials have yet been held to account for their actions, and this petition seeks to do just that and to ensure that the government respects basic human rights, including the right of everyone to be free from torture and inhumane treatment."
