Mi contribución a esta publicación es el artículo “Desafíos y buenas prácticas en la implementación del Protocolo de Estambul: el rol de la defensa pública” Confío en que sea de utilidad en la búsqueda de justicia en casos de tortura y los malos tratos.

What Just Happened: At Guantanamo's Migrant Operation Center Hafetz and Ingber outline some of the legal, moral and policy questions of sending anyone from the United States to Guantanamo.

Illegal N.Y.P.D. Stop-and-Frisk Tactics Continue Unchecked, Monitor Says Anti-crime units are still stopping and frisking too many people unlawfully, according to a new report that comes months before a mayoral election in which public safety may be a pivotal issue.

Police Department anti-crime units are stopping, frisking and searching too many New Yorkers unlawfully — and at levels far outstripping those of regular patrol units, a court-appointed monitor said.
