New block for Guantanamo Bay prison condemned
08-12-2006
Amnesty International UK:
Responding to reports that the US military authorities at Guantanamo Bay have moved a group of detainees into a new maximum-security prison block at the camp, Amnesty International UK Campaigns Director Tim Hancock said:
“Guantanamo is an icon of lawlessness where people are detained arbitrarily beyond the access of the courts in conditions that amount to cruel, inhuman treatment.
“Instead of building a new prison block, the US administration should close it down once and for all.” Email this story to a friend | Printable Version
