OSCE calls for termination of Guantanamo detention camp

Monday, 09 July 2007

Detention camp at Guantanamo Bay affects the image of the United States, and OSCE recommends terminating the detention facility, said Belgian Senate President Anne-Marie Lizin at the OSCE session in Kiev. Lizin is also Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Parliamentary Assembly's Special Representative on Guantanamo. "I will continue to pile pressure on the US to close the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay," Lizin said. Guantanamo mostly holds prisoners scooped up in Afghanistan during the U.S. offensive there in retaliation for the Sept. 11 al Qaeda attacks on the United States.
