Thousands of Muslims and Arabs were rounded up and questioned in the US in the weeks and months following the September attacks.

Some of the detainees have sued the US government after their release for inhumane and degrading treatment and a total blackout of communications in detention centers on the US soil.

The US government agreed in February to pay $300,000 to settle an illegal detention lawsuit brought by an Egyptian man who was among hundreds of Muslims rounded up in New York after 9/11.

Late March, two US federal officials were charged with hiding evidence to win conviction in a terrorism case against four Muslim men following the 9/11.
