Lawsuit filed against the U.S. military and CIA over drone assassination program | End the Lie ..

Unfortunately, lawyers for the government continue to invoke the privilege of state secrecy in order to avoid even having to confirm or deny that such a program exists to begin with, never mind actually addressing the legal basis for the practice.

Now the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have joined forces to fight on behalf of family members of three Americans who were murdered last year in drone strikes in Yemen.

The lawsuit targets top-ranking United States government officials, alleging that they actually killed the three Americans, including a 16-year-old boy.

They allege that this action violated international human rights law and the United States Constitution itself, a fact echoed by human rights lawyers stating that British civilians are actually “parties to murders” which are carried out by U.S. drones.
