1/BREAKING NEWS: In 2016, attorney #StephenGill, legal advisor pro tempore for Al-Nashiri military commission, was arrested at home in MA, flown to VA & detained overnight to testify as witness in GITMO proceeding.

Today, Fed District Judge in MA ruled USGOVT may be liable.
2/We filed lawsuit under Fed Tort Claims Act in 2018. DC Fed Court transferred case to MA. What military officers did in this case should shock the conscience of any reasonable person. And bc of that, our lawsuit survives.
