WASHINGTON (RNS) Relatives of 9/11 victims who believe debris from Ground Zero contains human remains and should be given a suitable burial said they are "shocked" that the Supreme Court refused to hear their appeal.
"Denying our right to present this in court is a denial of justice that is indeed shocking," said Diane Horning, whose son, Matthew, was killed nine years ago in the terrorist attack at the World Trade Center. "Denying the burial is a blatant denial of our free exercise of religion."
Horning is president and co-founder of WTC Families for Proper Burial, a group that believes the 1.6 million tons of debris left by the collapsing towers in 2001 has not been adequately sifted for remains and should not be dumped in a landfill on Staten Island. No remains have been found for nearly 1,100 of the 2,752 9/11 victims, according to The Associated Press.
Lower courts have sided with New York City officials, who argue that they have already looked through the tons of debris for remains.
