James Yee, Former US Muslim chaplain for Guantanamo Bay detention camp, describes the hostility towards Muslims at the facility, and the trumped up charges brought against him for raising concerns about human rights abuses.

Yee also reveals that children as young as 12-years-old are being held at the camp. Imagine these juveniles are US citizens who were actually charged with a crime and given a fair trial. It’d be outrageous to try and sentence them as adults, let alone hold them with adult prisoners in a detention facility where torture and solitary confinement are standard procedure.
