Lawyers: Guantanamo disciplinary block violates Geneva Conventions

December 11, 2011 by legitgov

ShareThisChains we can believe in: Lawyers: Guantanamo disciplinary block violates Geneva Conventions 09 Dec 2011 U.S. military officials at Guantanamo Bay are defending conditions in a disciplinary block known as "Five Echo," taking the unusual step Friday of releasing photos of a section of the jail not typically shown to outsiders. Lawyers for prisoners... call it inhumane to keep detainees there for 22 hours a day, especially when they have not been convicted of a crime. David Remes, a Washington-based attorney who represents three prisoners who have been held in Five Echo, said this week that the disciplinary unit appears to violate the Geneva Conventions. "Five Echo is really a throwback to the bad old days at Guantanamo," Remes said.
"Where is the intersection between the world's deep hunger and your deep gladness?"
