UK Detainees Report Being Tortured At Guantanamo Bay

HeadlineAug 04, 2004

Three British men who served time in Guantanamo Bay are charging they were the victims of systematic abuse, were interrogated at gunpoint and photographed naked in prison. One of their attorneys said “The account they have given from start to finish of their time in detention is an account of systematic brutality, systematic, perverse attempts to obtain confessions, interrogation … in ways banned by the international community.” The U.S. military has denied any abuse has occurred at Guantanamo. The men are releasing a 115-page report on their experience today.
