"Mr President, what more evidence do the Americans need to close down this hellhole? The latest UN report, which was released yesterday, provides yet more proof that what the US is doing in Guantánamo Bay is illegal and a direct violation of human rights.
Four years on from the inception of this prison, we are still hearing of torture techniques that are banned under the UN Convention against Torture. My constituent, Moazzam Begg, who was released last year after three years’ illegal detention, said he witnessed other inmates being beaten so badly it may have caused their deaths. Now we hear in the report about people being violently force-fed to end their hunger strikes, not out of a desire to keep them alive, but in order to stop embarrassing the American Government.
In the name of humanity, this prison must be closed and the detainees either given a fair trial or, if there is no evidence against them, released forthwith."@en1
