However, the US dismissed the report as hearsay, saying that the authors of the report meaning UN Commission on Human Rights investigators, did not give information based on practical observations at the jail. Did US authorities intentionally prevent UN investigators from giving objective, equal and reliable assessments of the more than 540 prisoners detained at Guantanamo Bay jail by allowing UN investigators to interview them directly because they believe it would set a dangerous precedent?

Late last year, the UN investigation team cancelled its planned inspection tour of Guantanamo jail due obstacles from the Bush Administration.

The survey is the result of an 18-month investigation ordered by the UN Commission on Human Rights and was based on interviews by the investigators with former prisoners, their lawyers and families, but not on-site visits. This is the truth that Washington cannot deny.

More than half of the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay jail considered war criminals or terrorists have never shown any hostility towards the US or allies of the US. Only 8 percent of Guantanamo prisoners had criminal records as members of the Al-Qaeda network, while 60 percent of them were arrested just because they were connected to a group of people that the US Government regarded as terrorist organisations. Prisoners went on hunger-strikes many times to request for humane treatment, public judgment and their release. Through secret prison networks, interrogation techniques and the illegal transport of prisoners, the US seems to have found ways to abuse the global fight against terrorism and use it as a smokescreen for its wrongful acts and human rights violations, although the US gives itself the right to criticise the human rights situation in other countries.
