"Over the years, hundreds of human-rights violators from around the world have found their way to the United States, and many of them have settled in the same immigrant communities as their former victims....But unlike former Nazis--who for decades have been subject to a concerted federal effort to find and deport them--most retired torturers have little to fear from the U.S. government." (MOTHER JONES) This article reveals how "a small but growing network of victims, private investigators, and human-rights activists...have set out to do what the government seldom does--track down human-rights criminals and bring them to justice."
