ACLU bespreekt de kwestie van overheid die over het aantal kinderen ligt die bij Guantanamo.This worden vastgehouden volgt vorige week een versie op incontrovertible bewijsmateriaal dat het Pentagoon het gehouden aantal kinderen vervormde. Het blijkt dat vrijwel geen eis die door de autoriteiten van de V.S. betreffende detentie en ondervragingsverrichtingen wordt gemaakt betrouwbaar is:

een procureur voor het UK. non-profit Reprieve said testimonies collected by the NGO, which represents 30 inmates at Guant?namo, indicate the actual number is much higher than 22.

As the number of children whom the U.S. owns up to detaining climbs higher, it is becoming crystal clear that there is no transparency in the government?s Guant?namo detention practices. And as the U.S. government?s past miscalculations of child prisoner statistics are revealed, it proves that there is a profound lack of accountability for Guant?namo policies, even when children are concerned.

Sadly, this is not the first time the Bush administration has misled a human rights body and deflected public and institutional scrutiny to avoid full accountability for its Guant?namo policies. But it is not too late to correct past wrongs: Delay the upcoming trials of two of the remaining detainees who have been held since they were juveniles and assess their eligibility for rehabilitation and reintegration into society. As alleged former child soldiers, the two detainees (Omar Khadr, who was captured when he was 15, and Mohamed Jawad, who was captured when he was 16 or 17), should be treated first and foremost as candidates for rehabilitation and reintegration into society, not subjected to further victimization.
