Habeas Corpus Null

Words: 2987 · Source Novel:: The Silent Protocol

Allison is arrested on fabricated corruption charges by the Ashland Internal Affairs Division, her apartment stripped bare. Released under surveillance, she realizes the legal system is completely compromised. She contacts an old mentor at a civil rights law firm who files an emergency habeas corpus petition regarding the prisoners in Ward H. In a chilling hearing, the state argues that the prisoners are not being harmed but medically treated, and that judicial oversight would compromise proprietary medical advances. The judge dismisses the petition under national security pretenses. Dr. Brandt goes missing. With nowhere to turn, Allison uploads the stolen data to a rogue journalist network from a public library terminal, using a dead woman's library card.
