WAR ON TERROR

Pravda: Guantanamo: The USA’s Concentration Camp
14 attempted suicides at Guantanamo says all about the psychological state of the detainees at this concentration camp maintained by the USA in Cuba for political reasons.

The prisoners were taken in Afghanistan, were transported to Guantanamo base, dressed in orange shell-suits and held in conditions of high security under suspicion, but not charges, of belonging either to Al-Qaeda or to the Taliban regime. The psychological problems appear because these people are being treated like sub-humans by a regime which does not even concede to them the right to the status of “prisoner of war”, which would entitle them to protection under a number of conventions, the most famous of these being the Geneva Convention
