Guantanamo bay is a high security detention bay located in Cuba and operated by the US military. It is reminiscent of Auschwitz and Siberia where humans are treated with brutality and violence because they dared to resist US oppression!
Most of the detainees are from Asia and the Middle-East. Beatings,rapes,starvation,sleep deprivation, suicides and even murders are common. The prisoners are denied the minimum privileges which every political prisoner is entitled to under the Geneva convention.
There has been universal condemnation of the Guantanamo bay but the US administration has been unmoved. The US Supreme Court has held that the prisoners are entitled to file Habeas Corpus petitions in US courts seeking release and has directed release of several detainees.
The US today is one of the most intolerant societies in the world while it sermonises other countries to protect human rights!
Shut down Guantanamo bay!
