📅 19 Februari 2002 📍 United States; Cuba

The Center for Constitutional Rights and cooperating lawyers filed Rasul v. Bush on behalf of Guantánamo detainees. The action challenged the attempt to hold foreign prisoners outside ordinary judicial review. Within this series, the case concerns resistance to security practices affecting Muslim detainees and the denial of legal personhood. Filing the case did not establish the innocence of every prisoner or secure immediate release; it began a struggle over access to courts.
