TERROR SUSPECTS ’ATTEMPTED SUICIDE’

Date Added: Thursday, August 15th, 2002
Contributed by: RCN Administrator

At least 30 al-Qaeda and Taleban suspects held at the Guantanamo Bay US naval base in Cuba have tried to commit suicide, doctors at the detention centre say.
The centre, in operation for the past seven months, is now almost at full capacity.

Last week 34 new arrivals took the number of detainees to 598. A US military medical team examines the detainees once they arrive here at Guantanamo Bay.

Remorse?

  • Most are healthy with only run-of-the-mill medical problems, commander James Radkee, a doctor with the US navy, told visiting journalists.
  • Over the months doctors have dealt with at least 30 incidents they see as suicide attempts.
  • These have ranged from detainees trying to cut themselves with plastic utensils to banging their heads against walls and punching the walls.
  • None of the detainees was able to do much damage to himself.
  • Commander Radkee says some of this behaviour is seen as a sign that the detainees are showing remorse for their actions.

Questions

It is a glimpse - albeit from the US military’s perspective - into the lives of men who are completely hidden from the world in Camp Delta. They were moved there at the end of April when Camp X-Ray, with its open-air metal cages, was emptied. But even the new camp is now almost full. A further 200 cells are to be built by October, and possibly more after that. This all suggests that this naval base will remain the main detention centre for al-Qaeda and Taleban suspects for the foreseeable future - the Americans see it as the most effective way of keeping dangerous men out of circulation.

But human rights groups are increasingly questioning the legal basis on which these detentions continue.
