PRESIDENT’SLETTERThe Center for Constitutional Rights has had another extraordinary year as we continue to lead the legal struggle against the Bush Admin-istration’s post-9/11 agenda that threatens our most fundamental rights. We have followed our remarkable June 2004 Supreme Courtvictory in the Guantánamo cases with an aggressive legal project toinsure hearings for the more than 500 detainees at Guantánamo. Theproject is recruiting, training and coordinating the work of hundredsof lawyers, and we have organized a grass roots effort to shut downGuantánamo; our website is filled with action items, and I urge eachof you to visit it and get active!

We were also the earliest of the civil rights organizations to opposethe nomination of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General. For us,tough questions were not enough and we helped force a campaign toflatly oppose him. We believed then, as we do today, that the author ofthe torture memos should not be given the highest law enforcementposition in the land. In an effort to hold Gonzales and other high-ranking U.S. officials such as Rumsfeld accountable for theirauthorization of torture, we also filed a criminal complaint inGermany under its universal jurisdiction law charging them with warcrimes.

We remain amazingly active fighting post-9/11 excesses and continueour work challenging the outsourcing of torture, detention andtorture in U.S. facilities around the world, detentions here at home,and the Patriot Act. This summer, we won a significant victory holdingunconstitutional a key provision of the USA Patriot Act.

But post-9/11 challenges are not all we do. Once again we were in theSupreme Court, this time on behalf of prisoners confined in a harshsuper maximum prison in Ohio. For the first time in U.S. legal history

Page 5: CCR Annual Report 2005

we won them the due process right to challenge their confinement in such a facility. And our TelephoneJustice project, we believe, is well on its way to guaranteeing fair phone rates for families to remain in touchwith their imprisoned loved ones. Once again, I ask you to visit our website and get active on this effort.

CCR’s 40th anniversary will be in 2006. We continue the focus of our founders to take on the hard casesand issues that others are, at first, reluctant to tackle. We lead the way. This is as true today as it was 40years ago when we worked on behalf of the Southern Civil Rights movement, or 25 years ago when we wonthe most important human rights case in the United States, Filártiga v. Peña-Irala. That 1980 case estab-lished that human rights violators abroad could be sued in the United States; the precedent led to ahistoric settlement this year in our case charging Unocal with complicity in the use of forced labor andabuse in building an oil pipeline across Burma.

Finally, as a last piece of important news, our executive director Ron Daniels will be leaving us after 12years. He has done a remarkable job. He has pushed us into new directions and has remained our steadfastleader. Finding his replacement will not be easy. I am sure you share with me in giving Ron a huge thanksand toasting to his future success. Many, many thanks, Ron.

Yours,

Michael RatnerPresident

EXECUTIVEDIRECTORIt has been my honor and privilege to serve as the Executive Directorof the Center for Constitutional Rights for more than a decade. As weapproach the 40th anniversary of this great institution, it is clear thatthe Center is needed now more than ever. Day in and day out, CCR isrelentlessly fighting the insidious assault on our cherished civilliberties and hard-won social and economic rights by Bush, Gonzales,Rumsfeld, Rice and their right wing allies. Whether it is waging thefight to ensure that the detainees at Guantánamo are afforded dueprocess as decreed by the Supreme Court, suing corporations whosepersonnel are accused of using torture in interrogations at Abu Ghraib,or exposing the horrific practice of sending detainees to countrieswith terrible human rights records to be tortured, this amazing organi-zation is at the forefront of a national and international movement topreserve the rule of law and uphold international human rights ascivilizing principles in our society and the world.

This incredibly important work is carried out by a relatively smallband of skilled and dedicated attorneys, legal, educational, communi-cations and support staff who work tirelessly in pursuit of these goals.And they do it with the steadfast commitment of a growing extendedfamily of supporters and donors who share CCR’s conviction that theright wing extremists must not succeed in shredding our democracyand irreparably tarnishing the image of our nation abroad. This isconsistent with our mission.

Indeed, it is the unique mission of CCR that distinguishes the Centeras a public interest legal and educational institution. Born out of thestruggle of African Americans to shatter the shackles of segregation inthe South, the founders of CCR committed this institution to “...advancing and protecting the rights guaranteed by the U.S.Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”

Regrettably, the poignant images of thousands of Black and poor people abandoned in New Orleans inthe aftermath of Hurricane Katrina should serve as a wake-up call that race and class are still inescapabledimensions of the unfinished civil rights/human rights agenda in our country.

CCR is not only committed to protecting the rights of people who live in this nation, our mission proclaimsthat we are dedicated to ensuring that every person on this planet enjoys certain basic human rights. Farfrom being passive in this endeavor, CCR is an activist institution “committed to the creative use of the lawas a positive force for social change.” We are fighting to create a more just and humane society and world.

As we face the often grim and sometimes discouraging battles of the moment, it is helpful to remindourselves of this broader vision and mission. Every case filed, every pamphlet published, every interview,march, demonstration or act of civil disobedience keeps alive the promise that we will one day forge a“more perfect union.” As long as there is a Center for Constitutional Rights and devoted friends whosupport our work, the struggle will not only continue, ultimately we will prevail.

Regards,

Ron DanielsExecutive Director 1993 - 2005

INTERIMLEGALDIRECTORToday this nation is faced with an enormous constitutional crisis. The indefinite detentions at Guantánamo have been mirrored by theabuse of non-citizens here in the United States. The governmenthas asserted the same shadowy power to arrest and indefinitely detain American citizens as well. On top of this, we have seen ourgovernment franchise torture by the cynical rendition of people to betortured in other countries in order to avoid being held accountable.

At the same time, political dissent and protest are under grave attack.During the Republican convention, on the streets of New York, theNYPD arrested almost 2,000 people for nothing other than theiropposition to these policies. And this assault on dissent is going onthroughout the United States. This political repression is accompaniedby economic hardship for millions, while racism and environmentaldevastation flourish along with the fattened bank accounts of the warprofiteers who run our government.

We can win this fight. But the outcome is yet in the balance. I takegreat pride that CCR staff and lawyers have tirelessly and courageouslyled the struggle against torture, rendition and illegal detentions, atGuantánamo and at home. In so doing, they have stood up for the Bill of Rights and the rule of international law on this planet.

I am proud to work with these wonderful and dedicated people.Through them, CCR often speaks for those who have no voice. We areproud to speak for you, from time to time, as well.

Sincerely,

William Goodman, Legal Director

GOVERNMENT ABUSEIN THE

“WAR ON TERROR”The only time the Administration has modified its unlawful

practices of torture and detention is when it has been exposedand challenged. It is up to us all, individually and collectively,

to hold our government accountable at the highest levels.

AMO CCR v Unlawful Detention

The Supreme Court’s June 2004 decision in the Guantánamo case of Rasul v. Bush was apowerful vindication of CCR’s efforts to uphold the U.S. Constitution and preserve therule of law even as the United States prosecutes its worldwide “war on terror.” In def-iance of the ruling by our nation’s highest court, the Bush Administration continues toargue not only that no court may review its conduct at Guantánamo but also that humanrights standards enshrined in the Geneva Conventions and other international treatiesdo not apply.

CCR created the Guantánamo Global Justice Initiative to challenge our government’spractices of unlawful detention, torture, and abuse. Through litigation, grassroots organ-izing, and other strategic advocacy, the Initiative addresses the humanitarian, legal, andlegislative issues involved in every stage of detention: from a detainee’s initial seizure, tohis transfer, to interrogation and treatment, to trial by special military tribunal, and tosentencing and punishment or eventual release.

CCR has led a massive effort to recruit, train, and provide ongoing litigation support to anational force of more than 450 pro bono attorneys representing the Guantánamodetainees. In addition to guiding volunteer attorneys through the basics of habeascorpus litigation and international human rights law, CCR coordinates strategicresponses to new legal challenges as they arise. In a parallel effort to ensure legal repre-sentation for each detainee, CCR filed Doe v. Bush on behalf of hundreds of unnamedprisoners whose identities the government refuses to disclose.

In March, CCR successfully mobilized its network of cooperating attorneys to block thegovernment’s plans to render up to half of the population at Guantánamo to prisons inSaudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Yemen, and obtained orders preventing the transfer ofdetainees into the custody of other countries without judicial oversight.

The Administration’s defiance of the Rasul ruling means that the struggle in the federalcourts to define the detainees’ rights will likely culminate in arguments before theSupreme Court for the second time in two years. CCR will continue to seek justice forevery person detained at Guantánamo Bay and to work to establish a body of funda-mental rights that will apply to all prisoners in U.S. custody anywhere in the world.

ABUSE:RENDITION

CCR v Outsourcing TortureSince September 11, 2001, U.S. intelligence agents have crisscrossed the globe on secretmissions to “snatch-and-grab” terror suspects. Touching down around the world, they flytheir shackled and hooded captives to Egypt, Syria, Uzbekistan, and other countries withabysmal human rights records for the purposes of detention and interrogation undertorture. Often these places are harrowing stops on the way to the prisoners’ ultimatedestination: the U.S. Naval Station at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

In January 2004, CCR filed a federal lawsuit against then Attorney General John Ashcroftand other U.S. officials for the illegal transfer to Syria – what the government calls“extraordinary rendition” – of Canadian citizen Maher Arar. Mr. Arar was taken intocustody at JFK Airport in September 2002 while changing planes on his way home toCanada.

After subjecting their prisoner to ten months of confinement in a grave-like under-ground cell, repeated beatings with electrical cables, and other torture, Syrian authoritiesreleased Mr. Arar, stating publicly that they were unable to link him to any terroristorganization or activity. He is now back at home with his family in Canada. A full-scale public inquiry in Canada is investigating whether Canadian officials werealso responsible for Mr. Arar’s ordeal and has revealed that Canada also had no evidencethat he had links to Al Qaeda.

Faced with these revelations, the U.S. government has sought to prevent litigation ofCCR’s case Arar v. Ashcroft, first trying to have the case dismissed, and then invoking thestate secrets privilege, asserting that disclosing the reason they sent Mr. Arar to Syriainstead of Canada would harm national security and foreign relations, so his renditioncannot be challenged. To dismiss a case based on the state secrets privilege is a rare anddrastic remedy, but recently courts have accepted this administration’s assertion of theprivilege to dismiss cases even before discovery.

If the state secrets argument prevails, the government effectively will have succeeded ineliminating any judicial check on its conduct and will be emboldened to use theprivilege as a blanket means to stop a range of efforts by CCR and other human rightsgroups to hold U.S. officials accountable for human rights violations.

AWCCR v War CrimesDespite overwhelming evidence that the use of torture in U.S. detention facilities was“almost routine,” the Pentagon and the Bush Administration continue to maintain thatillegal acts were limited to a few rogue soldiers. In response to the U.S. government’srefusal to allow a proper independent investigation to go forward, CCR has crossed thenation’s borders in pursuit of accountability for the policies and command failures thatled to U.S. human rights violations.

Upon CCR’s request, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights previouslyissued Precautionary Measures requesting the U.S. Government to have the legal statusof the Guantánamo detainees determined by a competent tribunal, to provide infor-mation concerning the location and treatment of all post-9/11 detainees held by the U.S.around the world, and to investigate and prosecute all torture allegations. At a 2005hearing before the Commission, CCR requested that these measures be extended toprevent the use of evidence obtained through torture in any proceedings.

The impossibility of an independent and far-reaching domestic investigation of high-ranking U.S. officials compelled CCR to make an even more daring bid for U.S.accountability. On November 30, 2004, CCR filed a criminal complaint with the GermanFederal Prosecutor’s Office. The complaint was filed under the doctrine of universaljurisdiction, which allows for the prosecution of suspected war criminals irrespective ofwhere they are located or where the violations took place, and requested a compre-hensive investigation into the role played by Rumsfeld, Gonzales and nine otherhigh-ranking U.S. officials in the torture and abuse of Iraqi detainees.

In February, the Pentagon announced that Secretary Rumsfeld would not attend aconference in Munich as long as CCR’s lawsuit was pending in Germany. One day beforeRumsfeld was scheduled to attend the conference, the German prosecutor’s officeannounced it would not open an investigation. CCR has appealed the decision and willfile new evidence as it becomes available through FOIA requests and other sources.

CCR is confident that evidence will become public supporting our fundamentalcontention: high-ranking U.S. officials, both military and civilian, are responsible for warcrimes. We will continue to work to ensure that those responsible will be brought tojustice.

NTCCR v Government MisconductOur domestic litigation and advocacy efforts strive to protect us all from the unwar-ranted erosion of our fundamental civil liberties and constitutional rights. In May, CCRtestified before a Congressional Subcommittee on the ways the Patriot Act has been used– and abused – since its passage, calling the conditions of confinement for materialwitnesses “tantamount to unconstitutional preventive detention.” CCR also successfullychallenged material support provisions of the Patriot Act in federal court this pastsummer when a judge ruled the provisions unconstitutional for the third time, despiteCongress’s attempt to rework them.

Plaintiffs in CCR’s case Turkmen v. Ashcroft were among the earliest victims of thegovernment’s post-September 11 zeal for arbitrary and indefinite detention. TheTurkmen case is a class action challenge to the government’s round-up of more than1,200 Muslim and Arab men for minor immigration violations, many of whom were heldfor as long as nine months while the FBI and INS cleared them of any connection toterrorism. Videotapes also document many instances of abuse. As discovery in the caseproceeds, we have successfully negotiated with the government to allow our clients toreturn to the United States to testify this fall.

The government tactic of using immigration law as a substitute for criminal proceedingspredates the Turkmen case. CCR is one of several parties representing a group ofPalestinian immigrants known as the L.A. 8 who have faced possible deportation for thepast 18 years as a result of their participation in a 1987 charity fundraiser. The case wassupposed to come to a conclusion this summer, and CCR stood ready to defend them incourt, but the government once again postponed the hearing.

On another front, in December 2004, CCR filed a federal lawsuit against DonaldRumsfeld on behalf of eight soldiers challenging the Armed Services’ so-called “stop loss”policy that would require them to serve far beyond their enlistment contracts. The menhad all completed their service obligations and sought only for the military to fulfill itsend of the bargain and allow them to return to their families.

CCR is committed to combating government excesses for the duration of the open-ended “war on terror.”

ABUSE:TORTURE

CCR v Unconscionable TreatmentSince the release of the Abu Ghraib photographs, evidence of widespread torture andillegal detention in the name of fighting the war on terror has mounted. From Iraq andAfghanistan to Guantánamo Bay, the Bush Administration and private militarycontractors have consistently ignored international human rights standards. CCR isfighting to hold torturers accountable in a series of important cases in U.S. courts.

CCR was the first organization to seek restitution for victims of the Bush Administration’sunlawful torture practices. Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal, Rhuhel Ahmed and Jamal Al-Harithwere held at Guantánamo Bay for two years before they were released without everhaving been charged with a crime. Their incarceration without charge, in horrendousconditions, and without access to counsel violated the Geneva Conventions, the AlienTort Statute, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and the U.S. Constitution. CCRhopes that a punitive damages award against the Bush Administration will put a stop tothese abusive detention policies and bring a small measure of justice to the men andtheir families.

Major General Anthony Taguba’s report on the torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib prisonheavily implicated employees of the private military contractors CACI, Inc. and the TitanCorporation. In June of 2004, CCR filed a corporate accountability lawsuit against thecompanies, charging them with conspiring with U.S. officials to humiliate, abuse andtorture people detained in U.S. controlled facilities in Iraq. Since then, CACI and Titanhave stonewalled the proceedings, attempting to move the case from one location toanother to avoid having to account for their actions in Iraq. CCR is working hard to makesure these private contractors are held accountable.

In a successful federal suit filed in June 2004, CCR, together with the ACLU, Physiciansfor Human Rights, Veterans for Common Sense, and Veterans for Peace, charged theDepartment of Defense and other government agencies with illegally withholdingrecords concerning the abuse of detainees in American military custody. As a result,thousands of pages of documents have been released to the public, increasing pressurefor an independent investigation into U.S. torture practices and detainee abuse. CCRcontinues to fight for more documents to be released and for transparency and account-ability all the way up the chain of command.

JUSTIC

ECCR v the Prison-Industrial ComplexCCR has continued to fight unjust and inhumane detention on many fronts this year,and not just overseas. With our Guantánamo Justice Project, our advocacy on behalf ofprisoners' families and our work in America's prisons, CCR has consistently stood up forthose few others would defend.

In Ohio’s supermax prison, people are kept alone in their cells 23 hours a day, a crueland inhumane practice known to cause or exacerbate mental health issues. Prisonersare often placed in these prisons without any process or opportunity to challenge theirtransfer. CCR took the fight over supermax confinement all the way to the U.S. SupremeCourt this year, resulting in an important victory that will affect prisoners across thecountry: the Court ruled that no one should be placed in or transferred to suchextremely restrictive confinement without being told the reason for the transfer andbeing given the opportunity to challenge that decision. CCR will continue to demandmore humane conditions and the right to challenge detention for those our society hasforgotten.

David Wong was wrongly convicted of a jailhouse murder in 1987. Even though there wasno evidence connecting him to the killing, David faced spending the rest of his life inprison. For years, CCR argued that David was innocent, the scapegoat of a botchedinvestigation. This year, the State of New York finally agreed. After more than 20 years inprison, David Wong was released, and the murder charge was expunged from his record.

For years, CCR and the Nation Lawyers Guild (NLG) have received letters from prisonerswho are trying to file legal papers on their own. To help prisoners develop theirarguments, CCR and the NLG created the Jailhouse Lawyers Handbook (JLH). We sentout over 10,000 free copies of the handbook to hundreds of prisons in the last year.Recently, in response to the growing population of women in U.S. prisons, we added aspecial appendix that deals specifically with women’s issues.

CCR continues to be at the forefront of the work being done to bridge the gap betweenthose incarcerated and those fighting for a more equitable system.

RACIAL

JUSTIC

ECCR v DiscriminationCCR was born out of the Civil Rights Movement and has battled racial injustice in itsmany forms ever since. This year, in addition to submitting amicus briefs on votingrights and the Tulsa Race Riots, we worked on three cases challenging New York City’sracist employment policies.

While African-Americans make up over 25% of the labor pool in New York City, theycomprise only 3% of the Fire Department. Working with the Vulcan Society, an organi-zation of black firefighters, CCR filed charges in the summer of 2002, which resulted in aruling that the test for becoming a firefighter was discriminatory and led to theannouncement this winter of a U.S. Department of Justice investigation. CCR filed newclass action discrimination charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission(EEOC) in late February and joined the Vulcans to protest outside of several FireDepartment graduations with abysmal minority representation among the new recruits.

On September 11, 2001, Michael Harrington, a Sikh and New York City subway conductorled the passengers on his train to safety. Since then, the MTA has attempted to force itsSikh employees to wear MTA logos on their turbans even though many other MTAworkers wear headgear that does not carry the MTA symbol. This year, CCR worked withthe Sikh Coalition to file discrimination charges against the MTA on behalf of Mr.Harrington and other Sikh transit workers, demanding that the MTA put an end to itspolicy of religious discrimination.

CCR has been working closely with a support group of teachers, the Committee for a FairLicensing Procedure, which argues that the Board of Education’s reliance on the NationalTeachers Examination to terminate the regular licenses of experienced teachers consti-tutes discrimination because the test has a disparate impact on minorities. This is a classaction on behalf of public school teachers of color who are challenging the use ofdiscriminatory tests and licensing rules that have deprived them of equal salaries,pensions, benefits and seniority while still keeping them on the job. CCR argued the casebefore the Court of Appeals in January, and we are hoping for a decision in the fall.

CCR is committed to championing those who fight against racial injustice everywhere.

CUBACCR v Travel EmbargoFor decades, U.S. policy has been to isolate Cuba from the rest of the world. One glaringexample of this policy is the Cuba travel embargo. This embargo is detrimental not onlyto the Cuban people: it is a deliberate denial of the First Amendment guarantees offreedom to travel for all Americans. CCR’s Cuba Travel Project is the only institutionaleffort to defend Americans who exercise this basic constitutional right.

While providing ongoing legal defense for our clients and legal information to thegeneral public, CCR continues to develop legal strategies to challenge various aspects ofthe embargo in the hopes of ultimately dismantling this illogical and unconstitutionalpolicy. Americans should be allowed to travel where they please without interference bythe State Department, and they should not fear exorbitant fines from the government forexercising their right to travel.

CCR provides pre-departure information to thousands of travelers, helping them under-stand how to comply with the law while they visit Cuba. We also represent over 150individuals accused of violating the embargo — the balance remaining of 430 clients,most of whose cases have been settled or dismissed. For years, these individuals havehad the threat of steep penalties hanging over their heads because the governmentrefused to appoint administrative law judges to hold hearings where the travelers wouldhave the opportunity to defend themselves. The government did not appoint judges tohear these cases until a year and a half ago – eleven years after Congress mandated thathearings be made available. CCR has defended our clients at three of the five Cubahearings that have so far taken place, and we will appeal the results of those cases to thehighest possible level to defend the right of Americans to travel where they choosewithout the interference of the Bush Administration or anyone else.

YCCR v Profit at Any CostEight years of persistent litigation by CCR and a team of human rights lawyers andactivists in the U.S. and Thailand against the Unocal Corporation for human rightsviolations in Burma culminated in an historic milestone in the movement for corporateaccountability this year. In December the company agreed to a confidential settlementin Doe v. Unocal, one of the earliest suits filed against a private corporation under theAlien Tort Statute (ATS). Burmese villagers sued Unocal, alleging its complicity in humanrights violations by the notoriously brutal Burmese military, including slave labor andwidespread rape during the construction of a natural gas pipeline.

November 10, 2005, marks the 10th anniversary of the summary execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni leaders who led peaceful protests against Royal Dutch/Shellfor their human rights violations and environmental degradation in Nigeria. CCR’s suitagainst Royal Dutch/Shell was brought in 1996 and triumphed over numerous attemptsby the defendants to end the case on legal grounds. CCR anticipates that its case allegingthat the companies were complicit in the deaths of the Ogoni 9 will go to trial in one totwo years.

In March 2005, CCR launched a suit against heavy equipment manufacturer Caterpillar,Inc., arguing that the company unlawfully provided bulldozers to the Israeli military thatit knew would be used to tear down homes and endanger civilians in the OccupiedPalestinian Territory. CCR has charged Caterpillar with complicity in the deaths andinjuries of Palestinians whose homes were destroyed and the death of U.S. activist RachelCorrie, who was killed trying to protect a home from demolition. When their homes werebulldozed in the middle of the night, members of the Al Sho’bi family were killed andmembers of the Abu Hussein family were injured. Ibrahim Khalafallah and Jamal Fayedwere killed when they were not able to get out of their homes due to disabilities.

CCR set the stage for these important cases with its pioneering victory in Filártiga v. Peña-Irala, which established that victims of human rights violations anywhere in the worldcould seek justice in U.S. courts under the Alien Tort Statute. Twenty-five years afterFilártiga, CCR continues to spearhead the legal enforcement of corporate accountability.

T CCR v Exploitation of Prison FamiliesThe New York Campaign for Telephone Justice, launched in October 2004, seeks toend the exploitative contract between MCI and the New York State Department ofCorrectional Services (DOCS) that grossly overcharges the families of prisoners tomaintain telephone contact with their loved ones. This contract awards the State anannual commission in excess of $20 million and charges family members 630% more forcalls than the average residential consumer. In addition, family members are subjectedto pre-emptive blocks on their phones and must face a Byzantine process in order to getservice restored.

The Campaign grew out of several lawsuits filed by CCR to challenge the practice, whichattorneys see as an unlawful and unlegislated tax that targets members of the com-munity who can least afford it. This summer, we went back to state court to appeal adecision in one case and had an important ruling in federal court allowing us to proceedwith our constitutional claims in another. The Campaign has had an extraordinary yearthat resulted in the passage of the Family Connections Bill in the New York StateAssembly in May, organized scores of family members to confront MCI shareholders attheir annual meeting in Virginia, and secured a strong editorial in The New York Times insupport of our efforts.

The Campaign has been extremely successful in bringing together family members,elected officials, public policy experts, members of the faith and labor communities, andthe media to illuminate this egregious practice and bring pressure on those responsibleto stop the contract. The Campaign’s web-based advocacy component has enabled NewYorkers to send letters directly to their elected officials and local newspapers to urgepassage of the legislation. In addition, internet-based public service announcementsthat depict the plight of family members faced with impediments to maintaining phonecontact have increased CCR’s capacity to reach an even broader audience. Last, aninnovative marketing and media strategy that targets youth and grassroots communitieshas made the Campaign a powerful organizing opportunity for those who feel thegreatest impact of the MCI/DOCS contract. We will continue to step up our efforts thisfall as the contract’s deadline approaches.

CASEINDEXEvery year, the Center for Constitutional Rights is involved in numerous cases before state, fed-eral and international courts. In addition to the active cases that CCR filed or litigated this yearand the amicus briefs we filed strategically in non-CCR cases listed below, we have worked todevelop a host of new cases that have yet to be filed, and we have cooperated extensively withprogressive attorneys on constitutional law and human rights questions in a broad range of pro-gressive causes. This year we worked with a team of over 450 pro bono attorneys on more than100 habeas corpus petitions for Guantánamo detainees: listed below are the Guantánamo caseswe are co-counsel in, but that only represents a fraction of the work we are doing advising andstrategizing on the full complement of Guantánamo litigation.

Albert Ruben knew something was wrong when his high school classmate George Kagawaradisappeared in the days after Pearl Harbor. His childhood friend’s internment planted a seedof suspicion of authority in Mr. Ruben’s mind. Over the years as a reporter and screen writer,his distrust of government authority has grown, and supporting CCR has been one of hismany avenues of challenging the government’s unjust practices.

A longtime friend of CCR founder Morton Stavis, Albert Ruben has been unwavering in hissupport of CCR. “CCR clearly looks authority in the eye and dares it to put up its dukes. Byourselves, not many among us are able to do that. We need representatives, people willingto say to hell with the odds. So we turn, as I gratefully did, to skilled, hard-nosed battlers.” Albert Ruben

Donor

Eric Lewis has been unwavering in his support of due process and has steadfastly opposedthe abusive treatment of detainees at the Guantánamo Bay prison camp. With CCR, Ericfiled the landmark Rasul v. Rumsfeld case, which was the first case to seek damages forreleased Guantánamo detainees.

“With the ‘new paradigm’ has come an alarming erosion of the rule of law. It is incumbenton the legal profession to partner with CCR and other organizations to make sure that theConstitution does not join the Geneva Conventions as ‘quaint and outmoded’ in fighting theglobal war on terror. Some day Guantánamo will be seen like the Japanese-Americaninternment camps of Korematsu— as a mistaken and panicked response that was corrosiveof our national ideals. I look forward to working with CCR to try to make that happen in real time.”

Eric LewisVolunteer Attorney

Claire Tixeire was a Human Rights intern at CCR this past year and spent most of her timeon the war crimes case we filed against Rumsfeld, Sanchez, Gonzales and other high-rank-ing civil and military officials under Germany’s universal jurisdiction laws.

Claire is a French graduate law student from the Pantheon-Sorbonne University in Paris. She also has a Diploma in English and International Law from the University of Kent atCanterbury in England and an L.L.M. in International Law from the University of Quebec inMontreal, specializing in international criminal and humanitarian law. She is currently back inParis completing a postgraduate masters in human rights and hopes to rejoin CCR in the fall.

“The work of the Center for Constitutional Rights is the most passionate and exciting work Iknow of in the field of human rights. I can hardly describe how amazingly enriching, at alllevels, it was for me to spend 10 months there.”

CCR Vice President Jules Lobel has been a cooperating attorney with the Center for over 20years and has been on the Board of Directors since 1986. Recently, Jules has been involvedin CCR’s work on rendition, Guantánamo, enemy combatants and unlawful detention. Hesuccessfully argued the Supermax prison case championing prisoners’ rights before theSupreme Court this spring. Since 1983, Jules has been a professor at the University ofPittsburgh Law School. His book, Success without Victory, is in large part about his litigationwith CCR.

“CCR is a unique organization because of its willingness to take risks in litigating for justiceand take cases other groups might see as too difficult. I value the Center most because itviews its litigation as an integral part of the overall progressive political movement.”

Jules LobelBoard Member

Sue Lee brings the different parts of the CCR community together. She travels with theCenter’s attorneys and board members to meet with donors and supporters all over thecountry. She is in charge of regional development for CCR and is involved in local New Yorkevents, as well. She received her undergraduate degree from U.C. Berkeley, an M.A. in politi-cal science from Columbia University and an M.A. in international relations from U.C.L.A.Sue Lee also manages CCR’s planned giving program, the Thelma Newman Society.

“I am constantly amazed by CCR’s donors, whose stories of activism and incredible lifeexperiences inspire me, not only professionally, but in my personal life, as well. Working atthe Center has been so much more than just a job – it has truly been a calling, and I consid-er myself very privileged to work with so many wonderful people.”

Shane is CCR’s William M. Kunstler Racial Justice Attorney and began at the Center as a vol-unteer in 2001. He graduated from Yale Law School, worked for the High Court of Karnatakain Bangalore, India, and clerked at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.

Shane works on CCR’s Patriot Act case and testified before Congress this spring on the mate-rial witness statute. He also works on Turkmen v. Ashcroft, representing people swept up onimmigration charges after 9/11; with the Vulcan Society of Black Firefighters challengingdiscriminatory hiring policies of the FDNY; and with the Sikh Coalition against religious dis-crimination by New York’s Transit Authority, among other cases.

“CCR is incredibly diverse and engaging—I work on employment discrimination, wrongfuldetention and the First Amendment all at the same time. I get to fight the war for justice onall fronts.”

INTERNSHIPSFELLOWSHIPSEntering its 18th year, CCR’s Ella Baker Fellowship Program continues to attract adazzling array of the most gifted law students in the country and exemplifies CCR’scommitment to training the next generation of activist attorneys. In addition to arigorous immersion in CCR’s cases, CCR also offers a robust educational and culturalprogram, including courtroom tours, luncheon seminars that address the role ofattorneys in progressive movements, and trips to relevant plays and film festivals.Additionally, each year CCR awards deserving Ella Bakers with a Hiss Fellowship to workspecifically on government misconduct cases and a Caitlin Millspaugh Fellowship forwork in international human rights.

“It was an honor to have the opportunity to work with CCR on the cases that are shapingour country and our world. Working here for a summer has refined my interests andfurther motivated me — and I couldn’t have been surrounded by more committed,passionate, and inspiring people,” says 2005 Ella Baker Fellow Emi MacLean fromGeorgetown Law School.

CCR has long believedthat international lawand its norms arecritical to CCR’smission of protectingthe rights of all, andwe have been bold inapplying them to ourlegal and politicalwork. OurInternational Scholars

Program, which has hosted students and lawyers from France, Kenya, East Timor,Australia, England, Scotland, Trinidad, and China, is proof that CCR’s work continues tobe held in high esteem around the world and attracts the finest minds to our cutting-edge approach to international human rights litigation. These scholars have beeninvolved in CCR’s critical work around our war crimes litigation and have used theexample of CCR’s work to strengthen public interest legal support and advocacy in theirown countries.

This list includes gifts of $100 or more made between July 1, 2004 and June 30, 2005. Gifts under $100 are greatly

appreciated and go a long way toward enabling CCR to continue its work. Unfortunately, because of the large

number of these gifts space does not allow us to print an exhaustive list of donors. If you made a gift during this

period and your name is not on this list, please contact us so we may correct our files and acknowledge you in our

next newsletter. Frequently, stock gifts are not traceable to the donor and we often do not know who to acknowledge

for these gifts. To remedy this situation for future gifts, please let us know to expect the stock transfer and we will

be sure to credit it to the correct donor and note it in the donor list.
