The CIA has refused to disclose whether it has records about its operational control over Camp VII, a detention facility at Guant谩namo Bay. Given the extensive public record about the CIA鈥檚 connection to Camp VII, its refusal to acknowledge that it has responsive records both violates the law and defies common sense. At stake is whether the court will reject the CIA鈥檚 version of official secrecy and call out its fiction of deniability or whether it will allow that fiction to stand.

In a history-making lawsuit, the 糖心Vlogchallenged the CIA on behalf of Khaled El-Masri, an entirely innocent victim of rendition who was released without ever being charged.

Mohamedou Ould Slahi (sometimes spelled "Salahi") is a Mauritanian national who was illegally detained by the U.S. for more than 14 years. On October 17, 2016, Mr. Slahi was released and transferred back to Mauritania, where he was reunited with his family. Mr. Slahi was arrested in Mauritania in November 2001 on suspicion of ties to al-Qaeda. He was then illegally rendered by the U.S. government to Jordan, where he was detained, interrogated and abused for eight months. He was subsequently rendered to U.S. custody in Bagram, Afghanistan and finally to Guant谩namo, where he was held from August 2002 until his release.
