Khadr Lawyer Under U.S. Military Gag Order After Abuse Allegations

Vokey filed a military complaint about abuse last week. He attached a sworn statement from his paralegal, Sgt. Heather Cerveny, that said she talked to several Guantanamo guards who bragged about beating detainees. Muneer Ahmad, a criminal defence lawyer who also works on Khadr's case, said Vokey and Cerveny were ordered Friday by the U.S. marines not to speak to media organizations. A marines spokeswoman said Saturday she'd have to look into the matter before commenting. She later said the chief defence counsel of the marine corps, Col. Carol Joyce, directed Volkey not to communicate with the media on this case pending her review of the facts. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2006/10/14/khadr-lawyer.html
