U.S. Releases 3 Teens From Guantanamo

HeadlineJan 30, 2004

The U.S. military has released from Guantanamo Bay three teenage boys aged between 13 and 15 years old. The boys had been captured in early 2003 in Afghanistan. Approximately seven more teenagers are still being held at the base. William Schulz, executive director of Amnesty International said QUOTE “The detention of children as 'enemy combatants' and their interrogation without even the basic safeguards to which they were entitled was a significant violation of human rights.”
