New York, NY.-  On February 13, 2012, Eric L. Lewis, a board-member of the International Justice Network (IJN), wrote an op-ed in The New York Times about the unique opportunity that has arisen for the United States, in the wake of a monumental decision by the British judiciary, to now release two Pakistani men in US custody at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan: Amanatullah Ali and Yunus Rahmatullah.  

British forces transferred both men to the custody of US forces in Iraq in 2004, and the US then illegally rendered the men to Bagram, where each has been in US custody now for over seven years, without charge or trial.  Mr. Amanatullah is represented by IJN and Lewis Baach, PLLC, where Mr. Lewis is a partner and international litigator.
