GUANTANAMO: TORTURE

Guardian: US Abuse At Gitmo Could Be War Crimes - Red Cross

Repeated abuses allegedly suffered by three British prisoners at the hands of US interrogators and guards in the Guant·namo Bay detention camp in Cuba could amount to war crimes, the Red Cross said yesterday.

The organisation, which maintains a rigidly neutral stance in public, took the unusual step of voicing its concerns in uncompromising language after the former detainees, known as the Tipton Three, revealed that they had been beaten, shackled, photographed naked and in one incident questioned at gunpoint while in US custody.
