RT pierces Gitmo censorship: ‘Transparency’ is subjective at Guantanamo Bay
Despite constant repetition of the word “transparency” by US military officials at the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, RT went to the base to see first-hand the trademark obfuscation that guides the world’s view of the secretive prison.
RT’s Anastasia Churkina went to Guantanamo Bay to report on media access to the conditions at the prison. She saw for herself just how operators of the notorious prison housing supposed terror suspects - half of which have been cleared for release but are still held due to security concerns and some who have languished for years simply waiting for charges - attempt to portray a kinder, gentler Gitmo as opposed to its reputation as a legal black hole, void of consistent standards and protocols since its opening following the 9/11 attacks in the US.
Churkina reports that her experience at the camp was highly-managed, and any attempts by her or her cameraman to get a true glimpse at detainee life were quickly prevented.
“Even though transparency’s a word brought up by all the personnel we talked to on the ground, we, as journalists - access to detainees aside - are asked to be very careful about the shots we filmed, all the backdrops,” Churkina reports. “At the end of each day, videos are reviewed, and any shots deemed unacceptable are deleted.”
