NYC CAN Statement on Saudi US Supreme Court Decision

The New York City Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) stands in support of the 9/11 Families United to Bankrupt Terrorism in expressing our deep disappointment in the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 29 decision to prevent the victims of the September 11 attacks from pursuing lawsuits against Saudi Arabia and four of its princes, for their alleged material support of the September 11 attacks.

The Supreme Court’s decision is a step backwards on the journey toward accountability that every 9/11 family member and every American deserves. With the increased urgency that this travesty of justice brings, NYC CAN grows in its determination to establish an independent New York City commission to conduct an impartial investigation into the events of September 11, a new investigation driven not by partisan politics and foreign alliances, but by evidence and fact.
