U.N. Inquiry Demands Closure of Guantanamo
A report due later this week by the U.N. Human Rights Commission is demanding the closure of Guantanamo and the prosecution of officials responsible for torture:
A United Nations inquiry has called for the immediate closure of America's Guantanamo Bay detention centre and the prosecution of officers and politicians "up to the highest level" who are accused of torturing detainees. The UN Human Rights Commission report, due to be published this week, concludes that Washington should put the 520 detainees on trial or release them.
It calls for the United States to halt all "practices amounting to torture", including the force-feeding of inmates who go on hunger strike.
