dude, when you started working for them, do you remember signing a contract, with a clause regarding confidentiality and work ethic? 'cos if there was one, you can't just take the data and republish it elsewhere. even if there wasn't a contract/specific clause, it's still a team effort, and you can't just analyzed and submit for publication, without consulting everyone else on the team (unless you're the lone lead investigator).
also if you think about it, the research community is pretty tight-knit. especially on specific issues such as yours. which journals were you planning to submit to? do you know if any of the reviewers or editors are your co-workers? 'cos that would be akin to shooting yourself in the foot, twice.
why not just have a chat with your mentor. talk about why were you hired in the first place? mention you want to get publications out and if there's there anything you can write up now.

yes ur right,actually they told me that research continue and the duration for this research is 5 yrs and only 2 yrs passed but ur right thay not allow me to do this.
