On 11 January 2008 marked the sixth anniversary of the first transfers of detainees to Guantánamo. In the first five years, 780 prisoners have been moved.
At the end of December 2007, 277 prisoners of 30 different nationalities (100 of them Yemenis) were still in Guantanamo without charge or trial .
About 80% of these prisoners were detained in solitary confinement in Camps 5, 6 and Camp Echo.
Camp 6, the most recent construction, is designed to accommodate 178 inmates and is the area where the prison conditions are harsher. Inmates remain in isolation for at least 22 hours a day in individual cells with no windows.
At least four people currently detained at Guantanamo were under 18 years at the time of his arrest.
At least four detainees would have committed suicide. Many others have attempted suicide.
The capture of Guantánamo detainees took place in over ten countries. None of them had a chance to see a magistrate.
In September 2006, 14 prisoners were transferred at Guantanamo after being held incommunicado by the CIA to 4 ½ years.
Several hundred people remain in U.S. custody at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan, without access to lawyers or a judge.
To say NO TO GUANTANAMO! Saturday, 26 come from 16 at the Mall Balloon Barletta and sign our appeal to the U.S. authorities.
