The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is turning 20 years old - 39 out of almost 800 prisoners have been kept there through today. Some of them without criminal charges. • On September 11, 2001 the United States was hit by unparalleled terror attacks carried out by al-Qaida. Thousands of people died. The United States and its allies were shaken to the core. The US government was looking for an answer that was equally forceful and clear. • The answer came soon: The United States and its allies launched a global war on terror. More and more suspects were captured – and later sent to the US navy base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. • A place outside the public eye. Far from American soil. Where the US constitution does not exist and nobody is watching. • Very soon, Guantanamo hit the headlines: Reports of torture came to light. And that led to some fundamental, and unsettling, questions: Was America, a longtime fighter for human rights, hiding its terror suspects in a detention facility, tucked away on a small bit of land in Cuba, so that nobody could see what was really happening there, behind barbed wire fences? Was America losing its moral authority? • • 0:00 Intro • 1:02 From 9/11 to Guantanamo • 2:36 Human rights violations • 6:21 The Military Court • 8:04 Life in GITMO • 10:15 Closing Guantanamo • • Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutsche... • • For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ • Follow DW on social media: • ►Facebook: / deutschewellenews • ►Twitter: / dwnews • ►Instagram: / dwnews • Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: / dwdeutsch • • #Guantanamo #WarOnTerror #Torture
