NYC Created 'Guantanamo' at RNC, lawyer says, files suit on behalf of demonstrators

"Under the guise of terrorism and the fear of terrorism, we are all losing our rights," lawyer Jonathan C. Moore said. Moore filed a lawsuit Monday on behalf of approximately 2,000 people who were arrested at demonstrations.

He said that New York City created its "own little Guantanamo on the Hudson" during the Republican National Convention.

The federal lawsuit claims protesters and bystanders were arrested without cause and were held without access to their lawyers or families at an old bus depot used as a temporary detention center.
