LONDON, England (CNN) -- The lawyer for two of the suspects rounded up in a possible plot to bring down as many as 10 trans-Atlantic flights on Saturday criticized their treatment at the hands of British police.
In an exclusive CNN interview, attorney Mudassar Irani listed a series of complaints, including the allegation that one of her clients had not received food and water for 26 hours.
Police arrested 24 people in connection with the alleged terror plot, although one man was released after it was determined he was an innocent bystander, Rivers said.
Although the names of many of the detainees have been confirmed by the Bank of England, which has frozen their accounts, Irani was unwilling to confirm the identities of her clients, referring to them by letters of the alphabet assigned by police.
Both of the men are from the Walthamstow area of East London. They are 22 and 23 years old.
She complained she was able to meet with her clients for only five minutes on Friday.
The men told her they are being held in cold cells and that requests for blankets were refused.
