New Claims Of Guantanamo Torture

Such tribunals are also criticised for failing to give suspects a fair trial. Amnesty said there were mounting allegations of appalling conditions, torture and ill-treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. The group highlighted the case of Jumah al-Dossari - a 32-year-old Bahraini who was taken to Guantanamo Bay in January 2002. His lawyer said Mr Dossari had been urinated on, threatened with rape and had his head repeatedly smashed against the floor. The claims have been denied by the US government. He had reportedly attempted to commit suicide 10 times, the rights group said.
