US subjects Guantánamo Bay detainees to 'cruel' treatment, UN says after visit

First UN human rights investigator allowed to visit since camp was set up says men subjected to 'inhuman and degrading' treatment 

Ní Aoláin, a law professor at the University of Minnesota and at Queens University in Belfast, told a press conference on Monday that "after two decades of custody, the suffering of those detained is profound, and it's ongoing. Every single detainee I met with lives with the unrelenting harms that follow from systematic practices of rendition, torture and arbitrary detention."
