Aljazeera journalist condemns Gitmo
Overdue. Seriously
overdue.
Al Jazeera cameraman Sami al-Hajj has hit out at the
treatment of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay military prison where he was held
for nearly six and a half years.
He said that “rats are treated with more humanity“, than the inmates, whose “human dignity was violated”.
Al-Hajj, who arrived in Sudan early on Friday, was carried off a US air force jet on a stretcher and immediately taken to hospital…
Al-Hajj, who is originally from Sudan, was held as an “enemy combatant” without ever facing trial or charges.
Al-Hajj was the only journalist from a major international news organisation held at Guantanamo and many of his supporters saw his detention as punishment for the network’s broadcasts.
I doubt that we have to worry about any of the U.S.entertainment
media news organizations running the risk of offending the divine power
in the White House.
