(US Navy/CIA) Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp (jan 11, 2002 – 5h 19min, jun 20, 2025 y)

Description:

21 years after the opening of an offshore detention facility specifically designed to evade the rule of law, the US government continues to detain 35 men inside the Guantánamo Bay detention camp. Of these 35 men, most have never even been charged with a crime. None has had a fair trial. Many of the detainees were tortured. [...]

Guantánamo Bay was established by the United States in January 2002 as a place for the US authorities to hold people perceived to be ‘enemy combatants’ in this war on terror. The first detainees were transferred to the prison camp, based in Cuba, on 11 January 2002.
