Muslim Americans Accuse FBI of Placing Them on "No-Fly" List for Refusin...

http://www.democracynow.org - Naveed Shinwari is one of four American Muslims who filed suit against the government this week for placing them on the U.S. "no-fly list" after they refused to become FBI informants. The plaintiffs say they were barred from flying not because they were accused of any crime, but because they wouldn't spy on their communities. "It's very frustrating, you feel helpless," Shinwari says. "No one will tell you how you can get off of it, how you got on it. It has a profound impact on people's lives." We are also joined by Shayana Kadidal, senior managing attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, which has lawsuit to remove the men from the no-fly list, and call for a new legal mechanism to challenge placement on it. "Whenever civil rights abuses are violated or abused, people have to speak out," Shinwari concludes. "If I don't do it, who else will do it?"
