A British man who was held on Guantanamo Bay by U.S. forces has told the Daily Mirror of London that he was beaten and tortured while being detained by the U.S. The man, Jamal al-Harith, said prisoners were kicked, punched and assaulted with batons. They were kept in hand and leg shackles with metal links into the skin for up to 15 hours at a time. Prostitutes were brought into the camp and paraded around naked in front of the devout Muslims. He accused the U.S. of subjecting him to psychological torture in an effort to break him. He also said they were given food rations that were 10 years out of date. The U.S. rejected the claims saying they are completely untrue. The U.S. is currently detaining over 600 men at Guantanamo Bay. None of them have been charged with a crime and are living in a legal black hole where the U.S. claims they have no rights under either U.S. or international law.
