The 216 page report, released by OSJI in February 2013, is the most comprehensive account to date of the human rights abuses associated with the CIA’s post 9/11 secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations as well as of the large number of foreign governments implicated in these operations. The report received global media attention and was the subject of editorials in leading newspapers.As Staff Attorney at the national office of the American Civil Liberties Union in New York, from 2002-2009, Singh litigated numerous cases relating to immigrants’ rights and post 9/11-related abuses, including ACLU v. Department of Defense, a landmark lawsuit which yielded public disclosure of the “torture memos,” among thousands of other government records exposing the systemic nature of the Bush administration’s torture practices. Ms. Singh was also Counsel in Khouzam v. Chertoff a successful challenge to the U.S. government’s use of anti-torture diplomatic assurances to transfer non-citizens without due process to countries known to employ torture; Ali v. Rumsfeld, a lawsuit against high-ranking officials on behalf of Iraqi and Afghan plaintiffs tortured in U.S. custody abroad, as well as a number of other cases challenging the prolonged detention of non-citizens in U.S. immigration custody.Ms. Singh has testified before Congress on the subject of “enhanced interrogation techniques.” She is co-author, with Jameel Jaffer, of Administration of Torture: A Documentary Record from Washington to Abu Ghraib and Beyond. (Columbia University Press, 2007).
