Since 2001, hundreds of terror suspects have been transferred to states where physical and psychological brutality and coercion feature prominently in interrogations. Many detainees have been subjected to enforced disappearance, a crime under international law…
400 detainees from more than 30 nationalities were still held at Guantánamo Bay - the public symbol of the injustices in the “war on terror” – at the end of 2006
200 have staged hunger strikes since the camp opened
40 have attempted suicide
3 died in June 2006, after apparent suicides
An unknown number of detainees are held in other, secret, detention centres or “black sites” around the world
