But it refused to "publicly confirm or deny" a news account about a confidential ICRC report charging the U.S. military with using psychological and physical coercion equivalent to torture on Guantanamo prisoners.
...The ICRC, which monitored the treatment of an estimated 450,000 prisoners in nearly 80 countries last year, has made multiple visits to Guantanamo since early 2002. [continued]
one more on the pile... still nothing being done about it.
The ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) report on US treatment of Guantanamo prisoners is a detailed and comprehensive document that outlines the findings and observations of the ICRC during their visits to the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. It covers various aspects of the treatment of detainees, including their physical and psychological well-being, access to legal representation, and detention conditions.
The ICRC report on US treatment of Guantanamo prisoners was released in February 2004, after the ICRC had conducted multiple visits to the detention facility between 2002 and 2003.
The ICRC report highlighted several concerns regarding the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo, including the use of harsh interrogation techniques, prolonged isolation, and inadequate medical care. It also raised concerns about the lack of due process and the indefinite detention of prisoners without charge or trial.
Yes, the US government has responded to the ICRC report by stating that they take the findings and recommendations seriously and have made efforts to address some of the concerns raised. However, the government has also defended the use of certain interrogation techniques and the legality of the detention facility.
The ICRC report sparked international outcry and brought attention to the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo. It also led to changes in policies and procedures at the detention facility, such as the use of certain interrogation techniques and access to legal representation. However, many of the concerns raised in the report are still ongoing and have not been fully addressed.
