WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of 10 Guantanamo Bay prisoners who are waging a legal battle over their detention have no constitutional right to do so, U.S. government lawyers said on Wednesday and urged a judge to dismiss their cases.
But lawyers for the men being held as enemy combatants at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, argued that their clients have the right to a fair trial and should be given the proper opportunity to defend themselves.
They urged U.S. District Court Judge Joyce Hens Green to deny the government's motion to dismiss the cases and to declare invalid the current military tribunal process at Guantanamo because it fails to provide due process of law.
