The United States' "Disappeared" The CIA's Long-Term "Ghost Detainees"
Let's just take a quick look at what a couple of organizations say about what is going on in the U.S. right now, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
The United States' "Disappeared": The CIA's Long-Term "Ghost Detainees"
At least 11 al-Qaeda suspects have “disappeared” in U.S. custody, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. U.S. officials are holding the detainees in undisclosed locations, where some have reportedly been tortured.
USA: Prisoner of conscience:
Abdullah William Webster (m), sergeant
On 3 June, Sergeant Abdullah William Webster was sentenced by US court-martial to 14 months imprisonment for refusing to participate in the war in Iraq on the basis of his religious beliefs. Amnesty International considers him to be a prisoner of conscience, imprisoned for his conscientious objection to participating in war.
