EFF isn't representing Dmitry Sklyarov.  Joseph Burton is representing
Dmitry Sklyarov.

EFF is working hard on this case, but can't make legal motions on
behalf of Sklyarov.

"Too early" -- an experienced lawyer.

Nobody feels that the government has violated legal standards for a
speedy and public trial yet.  Committed a monstrous injustice, yes.
Made the U.S. look ridiculous and frightening to the rest of the
world, sure.  Violated legal standards for procedural due process in
criminal cases, no.

He's not.

> Why is he being denied bail?

The bail hearing hasn't happened yet.

Sklyarov is being treated, say attorneys, no worse than your typical
Federal prisoner.
