April 05, 2007 AMNESTY CONDEMNS GUANTANAMO
'Harsher Conditions of Extreme Isolation'

Amnesty International has sharply criticized conditions at the infamous Guantanamo prison camp. It says that a new 'super-max' facility has created even harsher conditions with most prisoners being kept in isolation.

Conditions at Guantanamo have worsened, says Amnesty International
Amnesty International has sharply criticized conditions at the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In a report released on Thursday, the organization said around 80 percent of the 385 inmates are being held in "cruel conditions of isolation" with almost no contact with the outside world.

"While the United States has an obligation to protect its citizens" the report said, "that does not relieve the United States from the responsibilities to comply with human rights."
