On October 3, 2006, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) announced it has filed a habeas corpus petition on behalf of Majid Khan in DC District Court, one of the 14 'ghost detainees' President Bush recently transferred to Guantánamo. Filed hours before the passage of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, the petition challenges the constitutionality of denying non-citizen detainees the right of habeas corpus. Mr. Khan was imprisoned in secret CIA detention for 3 1/2 years and subjected to "alternative interrogation methods" that amount to torture. He has never been formally charged with a crime or declared an enemy combatant.
