Close Guantanamo, Amnesty urges
from Herald Sun
Feb. 6,2006
Statements from the article………
AMNESTY International has renewed its call for the US to close its Guantanamo Bay detention facility and try or release the prisoners held there.
“The US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is condemning thousands across the world to a life of suffering, torment and stigmatisation,” the London-based rights group said in a statement accompanying a report.
Citing complaints from inmates of mistreatment and abuse, Amnesty also appealed to Washington to “close Guantanamo and open up all US detention facilities to independent scrutiny”, and to investigate allegations of torture.
US President George W. Bush insisted last month that the prisoners were being treated “humanely”.
“Guantanamo is a necessary part of protecting the American people. And so long as the war on terror goes on, and so long as there’s a threat, we will inevitably need to hold people that would do ourselves harm,” he said.
Wild Thing’s comment……
I call for sending terrorist sympathizers to Guantanamo.
So they want to see more of these people back on the streets. Makes a person feel all warm and fuzzy.
Remember how we read about these facts below, I guess that the Amnesty International does not care about the truth! Screw you Amnesty International!!!!
-Not one of these illegal enemy combatant detainee’s
who came from Afghanistan had a Qur’an in his
possession when captured
-A brand new Qur’an in the specific, native language
of each individual was provided to each “enemy combatant”.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detained at Guantanamo is
given three nutritious halal meals (culturally-appropriate and
in accordance with Islamic dietary law) per day. The meals
include all optional condiments.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee receives Muslim feast
meals at special times in accordance with Muslim feasts and holy
periods during the year.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee has unrestricted access
to Muslim Imams and religious instruction
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee has a Quibla, a large
green and white sign in his cell which points toward Mecca.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee hears Islamic loudspeaker
calls to prayer five times daily.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received a brand new
Muslim prayer cap.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received a brand new
prayer rug
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received brand new
Islamic prayer beads.
– Each illegal enemy combatant detainee
received Islamic holy oil.
Each illegal enemy combatant had ALL of this done and paid
for him at US taxpayer expense and this is far, far in excess of
requirements delineated by Geneva Convention Cat. III protocols
on the treatment of Prisoners of War.
