Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility Notorious for Human Rights Violations

January 11 marks the 20 th anniversary of setting up Guantanamo Bay detention facility which is notorious for barbarous human rights violations beyond human imagination.

On this occasion, the group of experts from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) issued a statement which accuses the U.S. of its continuous operation of such camps violating the human rights and denounces that the atrocities by the U.S. such as cruel treatment of the prisoners, i.e. arbitrary summary detention and punishment of the prisoners can never be tolerated.

The spokesperson for Chinese foreign ministry pointed out that Guantanamo Bay detention facility is only the tip of the iceberg among numerous secret prisons of the U.S. scattered across the world, leaving a dark blot on the human rights history of the world, adding that “black prisons” of the U.S. make the people wise up to the dirty traces of the U.S. in its human rights crimes.

It is quite natural that the U.S. is made a focus of such criticism over its bloodstained human rights crime.

The world people can hardly imagine the tortures committed by the U.S. henchmen who were tamed with the ideas of human hatred and find pleasure in man slaughter in the secret prisons of the U.S. scattered across the world.

It is an open secret that medieval tortures were openly committed in Guantanamo Bay detention facility, which can never be imagined by humans with their normal way of thinking. Those tortures include forcing prisoners to stay awake for 180 hours, stubbing cigarette out in the ear hole, forced feeding by inserting a tube into the nostril and anus, administering electric shock torture on the genitals, making the legs immovable by putting them in the metal pipe in the shape of boot, etc.

One prisoner who had been detained in Guantanamo Bay detention facility for 8 years exposed the fact that many prisoners became blind, lost their hands and feet, and suffered mental illness, saying the camp was indeed a hell.

Some years ago, a report entitled “description of physical pressure” was made public, throwing the people into consternation. It keeps records of the facts about ill-treatment of the prisoners by the CIA by means of “slap in the cheek”, “putting a diaper on the adult”, “vermin biting”, “imitation of burying alive”, etc.

The problem is the fact that such atrocities are being openly perpetrated under the approval and manipulation of the U.S. government with an astronomical amount of fund being spent on maintaining and running secret prisons.

Such data clearly proves that the U.S. is indeed the kingpin of the worst human rights violations, and is a criminal state against humanity.

It is quite natural that the international society asserts that the U.S. should be brought to justice by making it sit in the dock of the international human rights court while condemning it as the ring leader of human rights violations.
