WASHINGTON–(ENEWSPF)–July 12, 2011. The American Civil Liberties Union will appear in court today on behalf of a New Jersey man who was illegally detained and mistreated by U.S. officials in Kenya and Ethiopia. After fleeing hostilities in Somalia in 2006, Amir Meshal of Tinton Falls, New Jersey was arrested, secretly imprisoned in inhumane conditions and subjected to harsh interrogations by U.S. officials over 30 times in three different countries before ultimately being released four months later without charge.
