Making headlines for all the right reasons, Amal Clooney's latest news are yet another proof of the British-Lebanese barrister's incredible capacities in her field of work, as she takes on another challenge in the human rights courts of the European Union, representing ten men who have alleged that the United Kingdom government tortured them in the 70s.
Although it's sad to know that Amal Clooney's latest news only make headlines because she's married to one of the most iconic people in the entertainment world, the good thing is that her presence in high-profile human rights cases ultimately sets the focus on the important business going on in European courtrooms.
Clooney, née Alamuddin, already had a vast career in international law, human rights, extradition and criminal law when she met Oscar-winning actor, director and screenwriter George Clooney; her clients have included WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and former Ukraine prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
Last January, Food World News reported Amal Clooney's latest news in her profession, as she defended the country of Armenia during a trial in the Strasbourg court of human rights for the European Union, after a decades-long denial from the Turkish government of what is considered the first genocide of the 20th century, when the Ottoman government exterminated 1 to 1.5 million Armenians, all while pushing many more into exile and the ultimate creation of the Republic of Armenia.
Now, according to The Guardian, Amal Clooney's latest news sees the notorious barrister taking on a new challenge: going after the government of the United Kingdom, a country in which she holds citizenship after having lived there since the 1980s.
As The Irish Independent reports, Clooney's new clients are 11 prisoners that are known as the "hooded men," who allege they were tortured by the British Army at the start of the North Ireland Troubles.
The case of Amal Clooney's latest news will attempt to make the European court of Human Rights censure the UK's conduct in their case; also, Clooney will also attempt to get them to officially brand this torture.
