I attended an event of '3 years in Guantanamo Bay' in my university. The speaker is Moazzam Begg, the ex-detainees in Guantanamo. He told about his experience living in Guantanamo and how they were being treated there. Being taken away from his family in the middle of the night without any warrant, just the gun on his head. Without any reason or any explanation on why he was being taken, with no communication with his family or lawyer.
The first thing they being told when arrived in Bagram, 'You are now the property of United State. You have NO rights' He told us, even iguana the protected species in the country have rights!
They suffered all sorts of torture just so they tell something, anything about the terrorist. When Bush being asked what did these man done, he answered ' I dont know what they do, but I know that they are bad man' . How can you punish people without proof that they commit the wrong? They said they do not torture the detainees, but why put them far away from public knowledge. If being asked, some people may not know where Guantanamo Bay is? Some may not know at all about Guantanamo.
Earlier this year, 530 detainees were released and 6 of them left in coffins. And 200+ were transferred to secret locations. Beware of Egypt and Libya! They are the new partners of United State.
Now, who's the terrorist?
