and the 505th day of the Guantanamo hunger strike.
A scene from Guantánamo Bay: The Hunger Strikes.
"..the deliberate and systematic scourge of torture continues to be used by brutal and repressive regimes to control populations, extract information, stifle dissent, and suppress emerging movements... Countries who are parties to the Convention Against Torture, including the United States, should be urged to fulfill their legal and moral obligations to provide survivors "as full a rehabilitation as possible" and to fully and promptly investigate all credible allegations of torture and cruel treatment."
-- Curt Goering, Center for Victims of Torture
