Free Speech Groups Sue Over Visa Denial
"The government is increasingly using secret evidence allowed under new antiterrorism laws to prevent certain critics from entering the United States, according to a group of civil rights and academic organizations.
The group, led by the American Civil Liberties Union, went to court yesterday in Boston seeking to force the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to grant an entry visa to a South African Muslim academic who they said was barred from the United States because of his criticism of American foreign policy."
