UN Report: Close Guantanamo Bay, Compensate Detainees Subjected to Cruel Treatment

A UN investigator determined the 30 remaining detainees at Guantanamo Bay face cruel and inhumane treatment prohibited under international law.
The US violated human rights and should provide reparations to current and former detainees as well as victims of terrorism.
The Biden administration was praised for allowing UN access but urged to establish an independent healthcare program for tortured prisoners.
Solitary confinement, excessive force, and lack of adequate medical care were cited as ongoing human rights violations.
The UN report recommends closing Guantanamo Bay due to serious concerns about the continued detention of 30 men, some accused of perpetrating the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
