Review on the hard times at Guantanomao Bay

Hey Folks!

Suzanna Ito, from Crooks and Liars , wrote an article on Monday 25th January 2010, which is supposed to remind the bloggers of the closure of Guantanamo Bay.It`s already one year ago that Obama issued three executive orders to close Guantanamo Bay.She presents 4 videos starring 4 detainees , who were held for years at the Guantanamo Bay and were eventually released without any apologies or any charge.
One voice came from Omar Deghayes. For six years he was detained at Guantanamo Bay and finally got even blind on his right eye after a prison guard jabbed him in the face with his fingers.
His story sounds really cruel , especially the methods of torture he tells in this video.
Omar who was born in Lybia, explains that he felt like being in a Burger King fridge , when the Air Conditioner was on the whole day and night. He and other detainees were kept under humiliating conditions.Light was on when you wanted really nothing more but just to sleep. You had virtually no rest at all.
Detaining prisoner without any trial is just not fair. That is a huge problem-a lot of other prisoners are just inncocent and sitting in the most cruel prison for just nothing.
America shouldn`t praise itself with such prison and the conditions under which the prisoners are held there. It`s nothing they should be proud of.

But just watch the video and form your own opinion.

By the way there is also a British docudrama: "The Road to Guantanomo" about the incarceration of three British detainees at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base , Cuba, which was premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in Berlin on 14 February, 2006
