Guantanamo - 'Honor Bound to Defend Freedom'

Work:: Guantanamo - 'Honor Bound to Defend Freedom' (S092832224)

Since 2002, over 650 individuals have been held by the US at their Cuban naval base Gunatanamo Bay. Among them are 9 British citizens and 3 British residents. The US government has declined to term the detainees as prisoners-of-war entitled to protection under the Geneva Convention, or as criminal suspects entitled to the protection of the US criminal justice system. The US administration have justified their actions on the grounds of national security while legal experts across the world decry the lack of due process. Weaving together personal stories, legal opinion and political debate, Guantanamo - 'Honor Bound to Defend Freedom' looks at the questions surrounding the detentions in Guantanamo Bay, and asks how much damage is being done to Western democratic values during the 'war-on-terror'.
