US decisive to stay guard of Gitmo prisoners’ rights - Nuland

[dipsydoodle]

The US is ‘working hard’ to observe the prisoners’ rights at Guantanamo detention facility, claims the State Department. Spokesperson Victoria Nuland has failed, though, to advise when incarceration without trial became an international norm.

During a daily press briefing, Nuland got into a heated exchange with Associated Press reporter Matthew Lee.

Nuland reported that a Russian citizen incarcerated in Guantanamo for over a decade without trial has refused to meet a Russian delegation because he has that right. She also assured the US is going to observe that right for him in the future:

Matthew Lee: So it’s okay to pluck someone off the battlefield and incarcerate them at Guantanamo with no trial, but they – you are certainly going to respect his right not to see the Russian delegation?
