Thursday, the detainees at Guantánamo Bay in their limited resources attempted to revolt against the guards. The detainees used weapons made of fans and light fixtures, and consequentially crushed by a ‘minimal force’. After the crushing of the uprising four detainees attempted suicide. The ability of the United State’s people to ignore human rights abuse in the world is easily understandable when most Americans turn a blind eye to their own human rights abuses.
Today, after much demagogue and passive defiance, the United Nations declared that Guantánamo Bay must shut down in addition to the various ‘black sites’ across the world. The UN accuses the United States of violating the international 1987 U.N. Convention against Torture, or other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment by exploiting detainees’ cynophobia and humiliating detainees sexually.
The day is coming when the toiling masses of America will hear that appeal and act upon it. Then the prison doors will be opened and the prisoners set free, for the masses have an authority higher than that of any court. — James P. Cannon
