UN report criticizes treatment of inmates at Guantanamo Bay as ‘cruel’ and ‘inhuman’

A new U.N. investigation found conditions inside the prison at Guantanamo Bay are cruel and inhuman. Roughly 780 detainees have been held at the detention center since it opened in 2002. Today, 30 remain, 16 of which have been cleared for release. Geoff Bennett discussed the report with Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, the first independent U.N. investigator to visit Guantanamo in its history.
