GuantanamoThe ominous Guantanamo prison is still full of inmates despite Obama's promise to close it in 2009.


Most of the detainees have not been charged yet, and all means of torture are used against them, as subjecting them to force-feeding methods to ban them from their right of hunger strike.


This has become clear as the jailers refused the  detainees' call to stop such practices, especially during the Holy Month of Ramadan.


These terrorist practices violate, according to the United Nations, the international law and the human rights.


The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a detainment and interrogation facility of the United States military located within Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba.


The facility was established in January 2002 by the Bush Administration to hold detainees it had determined to be connected with the opponents of its wars, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan.
