Children released from Guantanamo Bay

The United States Government has released three children who had been held at its military prison in Guantanamo Bay, in Cuba, for more than a year. The Pentagon says the three boys, aged from 13 to 15, have been flown to their home country, which was not named.

Detained and chained for years without charge, released without comment - the new rules they’re making should make Americans proud.

….it is understood there is still one child in detention at Guantanamo, which is a breach of America’s international obligations towards children.

Breaches of international obligations, the Geneva Convention, international law - - it makes no difference to this particular administration, they will continue to make up their own rules as they go along for as long as they can….. they write their own permission slips these days don’t they?
