Stop Indefinite Detention

The US Congress should reject provisions in a defense spending bill that would permit long-term indefinite detention without trial of terrorism suspects. Not since the McCarthy era has the US sought to legislate the indefinite detention of people without charge or trial.

Provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would allow the government to hold terrorism suspects indefinitely without any real ability to challenge their detention. They should instead be charged and tried in federal court.

Contact your representatives and demand they reject these detention provisions -- provisions that don't reflect American values.
