Six Years Inside Gitmo: A Journalist’s Tale

By Vivienne Walt Thursday, Sep. 25, 2008

Both John McCain and Barack Obama have said they would shut the U.S. military detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, where about 250 men remain behind bars — some in their eighth year of captivity. But neither presidential candidate has outlined when and how they plan to do it. One [...]

Bob Egelko, Chronicle Staff Writer
After more than six years as a prisoner of the United States, former TV cameraman Sami al-Hajj is back at work with Al-Jazeera, the largest broadcaster in the Arab world, a thorn in the side of most Arab governments - and, by most indications, a target of deep hostility from the [...]

I’m Home, but Still Haunted by Guantanamo

By Jumah al Dossari

I’ve covered the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2004 as military correspondent for The Post. Jumah al Dossari first caught my attention in October 2005, when I heard the story of his gruesome suicide attempt during a visit from his lawyer. Then known as Detainee #261, Dossari clearly [...]

By Murat Kurnaz, 26, Author, Activist
[more from this author]

Uyghurs Jailed From Guantanamo to Beijing

by William Fisher
As a federal appeals court ruled that the U. S. military improperly labeled a Chinese Muslim held at Guantanamo Bay an “enemy combatant” and ordered that he be released, transferred, or granted a new hearing, an influential congressional committee delivered a scathing criticism of China’s closed trial of 15 men on terrorism charges [...]

Repatriation as Russian Roulette

Will the two Algerians freed from Guantánamo be treated fairly?
by Andy Worthington
It doesn’t take much investigation to discover that Algeria has a bleak human rights record, which is one of the reasons that, until last week, when 49-year-old Mustafa Hamlili and 28-year-old Abdul Raham [...]

Painful Past Still A Reminder For Former Gitmo Detainees

Sandeep Singh Grewal - AHN Middle East Correspondent
Manama, Bahrain (AHN) - They suffered torture and humiliation in Guantanamo Bay for years. But even after their release, the six Bahraini men carry with them the dreaded tag as “criminals,” a reminder of their painful past.
It’s going to be one year in August since the last Bahraini [...]
