Romero, Executive Director of > the ACLU. > > "That concern has been heightened by the government's latest > dragnet approach to its investigation and by the Attorney > General's apparent unwillingness to respect the checks and > balances that are so central to our democracy," he added. > > "None of the advice in the pamphlet is meant to stop people from > cooperating with proper law enforcement investigations," Romero > said, noting that the pamphlet advises those who are being > questioned by authorities to be careful but truthful in their > answers. > > The ACLU has criticized a Justice Department "dragnet" plan to > pick up and interview at least 5,000 foreigners -- all men ages > 18 to 33, from mostly Middle Eastern countries -- who entered > the United States on non-immigrant visas from January 1, 2000 to > the present. > > The ACLU has also been troubled by reports that some people > under investigation have been detained and impeded in their > ability to contact lawyers and their families. On October 29, > the ACLU joined with a coalition of civil liberties, human > rights and electronic privacy organizations in filing a Freedom > of Information Act request for information about the individuals > arrested or detained since September 11. > > To date, the FBI has denied the groups' request, while requests > to the Justice Department and the Immigration and Naturalization > Services have so far gone unanswered. An appeal to the FBI > denial was filed on November 9, which is required before going > to court. > > The ACLU is offering the pamphlets at no cost to ethnic > organizations and community groups, in addition to distributing > them through its 53 affiliates around the country. > > The pamphlet is currently available in English, Spanish and > Arabic and will soon be published in Farsi, Urdu, Punjabi and > Hindi. It is written in a straightforward style and offers > pragmatic advice in a question-and-answer format. > > Readers will find answers to the questions: "What Constitutional > Rights Do I Have?" "What If the Police or FBI Contact Me?" "What > If I Am Not a Citizen and the INS Contacts Me?" and "What Are My > Rights At Airports?" > > The pamphlets are available in PDF format on the ACLU's Website. > > The English pamphlet is at > http://www.aclu.org/library/know_your_rights.pdf > The Arabic pamphlet is at > http://www.aclu.org/library/know_your_rights_ar.pdf > The Spanish pamphlet is at > http://www.aclu.org/library/know_your_rights_sp.pdf > > [Copyright 2001 The American Civil Liberties Union] > > ================================================== > > INTERNET-WEB LINKS: > > STOP THE BUSH WAR AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/InfoTimes/message/1187 > As Bush Regime Prepares to Investigate Thousands, > ACLU Issues Multi-Lingual "Know Your Rights!" > Pamphlet to Educate Public > http://www.aclu.org/news/2001/n111401a.html > > National Lawyers Guild Know Your Rights Information > http://www.nlg.org/post911/rightsinfo.htm > http://www.nlg.org/post911/legal/knowrights3.htm > http://www.nlg.org > > Plan to Question 5,000 Raises Issue of Racial Profiling > http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/1115-03.htm > > Bush Tyranny is Brutalizing Principles of Justice > http://www.commondreams.org/views01/1115-03.htm > > Bush's Secret Court: Legal System in a Burka > http://www.commondreams.org/views01/1115-04.htm > > We Can Only Guess What Secrets Bush Is Keeping > http://www.commondreams.org/views01/1115-07.htm > > >From the Right > Seizing Dictatorial Power > http://www.commondreams.org/views01/1115-08.htm > > Bush Order on Military Tribunals is Further Evidence That U.S. > Government is Abandoning Democracy's Checks and Balances > Statement of Laura W.
