Egyptian Torture Victim Released From Immigration Detention

"Egyptian national Sameh Khouzam was released from detention today days after a federal judge ruled that the U.S. government cannot rely on secret and unreviewable ?assurances? from the Egyptian government that it will not torture him upon his return. Last Thursday, the judge granted Khouzam?s habeas corpus petition and ordered that he be immediately freed from a Pennsylvania prison, where he has been held since May." ACLU, Jan. 15, 2008.
