  • More than 500 prisoners of some 35 nationalities are being held at the US Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

  • The prisoners are denied basic rights under international law and most have been held without charge or trial.

  • Many of the prisoners have no access to the courts, legal counsel or family visits.

  • Prisoners have been subjected to physical and psychological torture, including isolation, shackling, sensory deprivation, and the use of strobe lights, loud music, temperature manipulation and dogs during interrogations.
