Defecting Diplomat Incarcerated in USA: Lawyer At Risk

Return to the Success Stories Page

Family of a lawyer who had defected to USA, contacted LWOB. The gentleman was incarcerated in a high security prison in Connecticut--a facility not generally thought to house INS detainees.

The lawyer was housed in a cell with individuals accused of serious felony crimes. He was considered a lawyer at risk. Within 24 hours of learning that he was located here in Connecticut, counsel was procured for him.

The lawyer was released from detention and is currently enjoying his freedomæ in USA.
