Guantanamo: Who Really 'Returned to the Battlefield' Appendix Guantanamo: Who Really ‘Returned to the Battlefield’? Peter Bergen and Katherine Tiedemann, Counterterrorism Strategy Initiative July 20, 2009 As of July 1, 2009, 544 Guantanamo prisoners had been released or transferred abroad. We have placed them in the following categories: Category 1. Former detainees engaged or suspected to have engaged with insurgent groups that attack or attempt to attack the United States, U.S. citizens, or U.S. bases abroad. (21 men; 3.9 percent of those released or transferred) Category 2. Former detainees engaged or suspected to have engaged with insurgent groups that attack or attempt to attack non-U.S. targets. (20 men; 3.7 percent) Category 3. Former detainees involved in anti-American propaganda or criticism of the U.S. government or military. (23 men; 4.2 percent) Total: 64 (12 percent) (For those released detainees who fit more than one category, we coded them as the highest category only; and in cases where we could not independently verify the Pentagon’s assessment of a named individual’s confirmed or suspected involvement in any form of militant activity, we took the Pentagon’s assessment at face value.) 1 Category 1.

  • Murat Kurnaz Released from Guantánamo!
    Amnesty International 25 August 2006 AI Index AMR 51/147/2006 Murat Kurnaz had been held for four years and eight months without charge or trial. Guantánamo must be closed! Good News: Murat Kurnaz released from Guantánamo! “Thank God, I am well, but just God that created us knows when I will come back” Murat Kurnaz wrote these words to his family from Guantánamo in March 2002. His dreams of returning home to Germany have only now, finally, been realised. Released from Guantánamo on 24 August 2006, Murat Kurnaz had been held for four years and eight months without charge or trial. The only contact he had been allowed with his family was through heavily censored letters. In a statement, his German lawyer said: “He is now again in the circle of his family. Their joy at embracing their lost son again is indescribable”. Murat’s mother, Rabiye Kurnaz has dedicated these past years to campaigning for her eldest son’s release. In November 2005 she attended an international conference organized by Amnesty International and Reprieve where she spoke of her hopes of being reunited with her son. Now these hopes have become a reality. Murat Kuraz is a Turkish national who was born in Germany in 1982. His prolonged detention in Guantánamo had been complicated by his status – lacking German citizenship, the German authorities had refused his return to Germany. The Turkish authorities had shown little interest in his case. It was only after intense lobbying from his family, lawyers and AI members around the world, including in his home town of Bremen, that the German authorities began to act on his behalf, finally paving the way for his return.

THE SHOCK OF RECOGNITION Karl Llewellyn once said that there are always two or more "technically correct" answers to any serious legal question, mutu­ ally contradictory and pointing in opposite directions in a given case.1 He meant that a court can almost always find a technically acceptable way of rationalizing whatever result it wishes to reach. A lot of time is spent in law school in gaining an appreciation of this so-called logical process. Law students learn hundreds of general rules, each with its exceptions; they learn the canons of statutory construction, each with an equal and opposite canon; they learn to manipulate precedent-to analogize cases when favorable, to dis­ tinguish them when not, often by invoking factual distinctions that might strike anyone but a lawyer as irrelevant.

  • El Viaje De La Muerte”1
    Informe de la ONG británica Reprieve que sacó del anonimato muchas historias de presos de Guantánamo y cómo EEUU los compró “El viaje de la muerte”1 Más de 700 prisioneros fueron enviados ilegalmente a Guantánamo con la ayuda de Portugal Reprieve, 28 de enero de 2008 Traducido del inglés para Rebelión por Germán Leyens La organización británica Reprieve muestra de modo concluyente que territorio y espacio aéreo portugueses han sido utilizados para transferir a más de 700 prisioneros para ser torturados y encarcelados ilegalmente en Guantánamo. Mediante la comparación de registros de vuelo obtenidos de las autoridades portuguesas,2información del Departamento de Defensa de EE.UU. mostrando fechas de llegada de prisioneros a Guantánamo, y testimonios no confidenciales de los propios prisioneros, 3 Reprieve puede identificar por primera vez a 728 prisioneros enviados a Guantánamo pasando por la jurisdicción portuguesa. La investigación también muestra que Portugal ha jugado un papel sustancial de apoyo en el programa general de entregas [‘extraordinarias’]. Por lo menos nueve prisioneros transportados pasando por la jurisdicción portuguesa fueron severamente torturados en prisiones secretas en todo el mundo antes de su llegada a Guantánamo.4 Vuelos de entregas de prisioneros a Guantánamo pasando por jurisdicción 1 Definición de Adil Zamil, prisionero transportado en el Vuelo RCH108Y que pasó por jurisdicción portuguesa hacia Guantánamo: “Llamo el viaje a Guantánamo ‘El viaje de la muerte.’ Discretamente estuve deseando que el avión se cayera para terminar con el dolor que sentía.” Fuente: “Kuwaiti Gitmo Detainees Speak Out about Abuse” [Detenidos en Guantánamo hablan del abuso], de Rania El Gamal, Kuwait Times, 1 de diciembre de 2006 2 Registros de vuelo obtenidos por Ana Gomes, miembro del Parlamento Europeo, en 2006 revelan que aviones cruzaron en por lo menos 94 ocasiones el espacio aéreo portugués en camino a, o desde, Guantánamo entre 2002 y 2006.

    October 19, 2011 To: Robert Nicholson, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada Re: Letter in Support of Private Prosecutions Filed Against George W. Bush for Torture We, the undersigned human rights non-governmental organizations and individuals, are writing this statement in full support of the private prosecutions against George W. Bush, former President of the United States, being lodged on behalf of three former Guantánamo detainees, and one current detainee, who allege that they were tortured by U.S. officials, and seek a criminal investigation and prosecution against Mr. Bush upon arrival in Canada, for substantive breaches of the Canadian Criminal Code and United Nations Convention Against Torture (CAT). The criminal cases submitted under sections 504, 269.1, 21 and 22 of the Canadian Criminal Code, and the Indictment with an appendix of supporting material attached thereto, (collectively, the “Bush Dossiers”) set forth reasonable and probable grounds to believe that a person who is scheduled to be present on Canadian territory has committed an act of torture. The Case Against George W. Bush The Bush Dossiers allege that George W. Bush, in his capacity of former president of the United States, bears individual responsibility for acts of torture and/or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment committed against detainees held in U.S. custody or rendered to other countries by the U.S., in that he ordered, authorized, condoned, planned or otherwise aided and abetted such acts, or failed to prevent or punish subordinates for the commission of such acts. As set forth in detail in the Bush Dossiers, including through documentary evidence in the form of inter alia official memoranda issued by Mr.

  • The Wire USA Executes Mentally
    The Wire March 2006 Vol. 36. No. 02 AI Index: NWS 21/002/2006 [Page 1] USA executes mentally ill “Today, at 6pm, the State of Florida is scheduled to kill my brother, Thomas Provenzano, despite clear evidence that he is mentally ill... I have to wonder: Where is the justice in killing a sick human being?” Sister of death row inmate, June 2000 By the end of 2005, more than 1,000 men and women had been put to death in the USA since executions resumed in 1977. At least one in 10 of them were suffering from mental illness. In a report released in January, AI listed the stories of a hundred people who had been executed in the USA since 1977 despite clear evidence that they were mentally ill. People like Johnny Garrett, executed in 1992 for a murder committed when he was 17. Like many on the list, Johnny Garrett was severely physically and sexually abused as a child, leaving him brain damaged and chronically psychotic. He was described by a psychiatrist as “one of the most psychiatrically impaired inmates” she had ever examined, and by a psychologist as having “one of the most virulent histories of abuse and neglect... encountered in over 28 years of practice.” Many of the 100 suffered hallucinations or delusions as a result of their mental illness, some had serious brain damage. Yet all were judged mentally competent and able to understand the charges against them – a necessary prerequisite for a death sentence. The judge who found Thomas Provenzano competent for execution found “clear and convincing evidence that Provenzano has a delusional

  • The Guantanamo Trap
    The Guantanamo Trap Documentary Running Time: 90 minutes 35 mm/ HD Colour 2011 Germany/Canada/Switzerland The Guantanamo Trap – Press Kit 2011 1 Short Synopsis: In 2006, Murat Kurnaz was released from Guantanamo Bay after being detained for 5 years without trial. The same year, Matthew Diaz, a Navy lawyer was sentenced to 6 months of imprisonment for leaking the names of the detainees to a human rights organization. Four years earlier, Judge Advocate Diane Beaver was also deployed in Guantanamo. Here, she became the author of a legal memorandum that would later be nicknamed: the torture memo. Three encounters with Guantanamo, three individuals, whose lives will be forever changed. Their stories are exemplary and yet unique. The roles they played are ambiguous; the usual definition of victim and perpetrator is secondary. In the legal grey zone of Guantanamo, notions of good and evil, right and wrong lose their meaning. Long Synopsis: The Guantanamo Trap tells the stories of four people whose lives have been irrevocably changed by the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center. Four unique encounters with Guantanamo construct the multi-faceted mirror that The Guantanamo Trap holds up to each of us. In August 2006, Murat Kurnaz was released from the U.S. detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He had been detained for five years without trial. In the same year, Matthew Diaz, Judge Advocate for the Navy, was sentenced to six months of imprisonment for passing on the names of the detainees to a human rights organization. Four years earlier in 2002, Judge Advocate Diane Beaver was also deployed to Guantanamo.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH FINDING HUMANITY AFTER DEHUMANIZATION: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF MEMOIR IN NARRATING THE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AT GUANTÁNAMO BAY TAK-YIN SANDRA FUNG Spring 2012 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in English and Comparative Literature with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Sophia McClennen Professor of Comparative Literature, Spanish, and Women’s Studies Thesis Supervisor Lisa Sternlieb Associate Professor of English Honors Adviser Jonathan Marks Associate Professor of Bioethics, Humanities, and Law Second Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i Abstract This thesis examines the role of memoir within the larger dialogue concerning the human rights violations committed at Guantánamo Bay. Memoirs have always held an important place within human rights narratives, and the personal histories written by former Guantánamo detainees contribute an essential individual component to conversations about the injustices of the facility. Although several other detainees have come forward with memoirs, this thesis specifically evaluates Enemy Combatant : My Imprisonment at Guantánamo, Bagram, and Kandahar by Moazzam Begg and Five Years of My Life: An Innocent Man in Guantánamo by Murat Kurnaz. Both men were detained without charge and released, albeit after enduring years of abuse, isolation, and poor living conditions. Despite the emphasis on the unique ability of memoir to connect the audience with the perspective of the work’s subject, this thesis does not argue for memoir as the most effective form of human rights narrative. Instead, the memoir should be viewed as one part of a larger conversation.
