With over 500 prisoners currently being held at Guantanamo Bay and other international “law free zones” arising globally, there are now an estimated 10,000 “ghost detainees” around the world, who are being denied the most basic of human rights. This phenomenon of wholesale detention beyond the reach of the law is so new that a unique set of legal and advocacy strategies are required to meet the challenge presented. Justice in Exile will respond to this growing need by establishing centers for the representation of individuals held as prisoners of the “War on Terror.” The organization will develop as a coalition of partnerships throughout the world since prisoners hail from over 50 countries. Through legal, advocacy and public relations strategies, Justice in Exile will strive to bring the rule of law back to Guantanamo Bay and other such facilities.
