City lawyer seeks justice for Guantanamo detainees

-NEW HAVEN — For a year, Beth Gilson has spent hundreds of hours on research and court filings on behalf of two clients detained for four years without charges in a legal netherworld at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
She has never heard back from them and ultimately they may reject her offer to represent them, but Gilson feels she has a good shot at clarifying their status and hopefully getting them asylum in another country.


The New Haven attorney, whose solo practice usually addresses environmental law, is set to travel to Guantanamo on Wednesday to meet two Chinese Muslim brothers, who are part of a group of 22 Uighurs transferred to Guantanamo as enemy combatants in 2002.
