And according to section 3 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, “every child deprived of his or her liberty must be separated from adults.” Omar Khadr was not granted his right to be separated from the adults in Guantanamo
It brings me much grief that I must be the bringer of terrible news, but then again it must be said and so I continue. Our fellow humans are being tortured and we have done nothing about it. I recently learned about a man named Sebastian Richardson. Richardson is 51 years old. Richardson is apparently one of many who are faced with horrendous abuse and brutal treatment brought upon him by the justice system.
Furthermore, one must keep in mind the term “civilians”. While torture and abuse are in and of themselves truly unethical, it is made even more so by the fact that these actions were taken against civilians, who by rights had little to no actual influence upon the fighting itself, and could hardly have been found guilty of anything occuring there. This simply seeks to enforce how easily the process of dehumanization can cause people to perform heinous and cruel acts upon other, at times even innocent
Because of this Beneson submitted an article to the newspaper, the Observer, that exhibits his thoughts on their imprisonment was an abuse of their human rights. It was in this article where he promoted
The Incident Ariel Castro the 53 year old former school bus driver who abducted and held three young girls captive for 10 years was sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years as reported on CNN (Brown and McLaughlin). Three young women between the ages of 14 and 21 went missing a year apart from one another in a small “tight-knit community” in Cleveland (Donaghue). All were lured into a van with a promise of a ride by a friend’s father. There the girls were held against their will for ten years filled with torture, rape, starvation, pregnancy and miscarriages. The girls were tied up with chains and ropes in several rooms throughout the house that were rigged to keep them from the outside world.
Neither one of the circumstances was ethical at any point and had been publicized by the media for its explicit type of interrogation methods as well as sadistic behavior. In particular, Phil Zimbardo has argued that the study shows that strong situational forces can override individual differences in personality and moral values. In Abu Ghraib, soldiers were inserted into the role of prison guards and began to sadistically torment prisoners there and at other detention sites in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of the specific acts of humiliation were similar to those that transpired in the Stanford Prison Experiment, according to Zimbardo. This theory has been challenged by allegations by Seymour Hersh, in the New Yorker, that these soldiers were in fact acting under direct orders of their superiors as part of a top secret Pentagon intelligence gathering program authorized by Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld.
Our government claims that as humans we are innocent until proven guilty, however this is not the case as we are locking up these unfortunate people upon their arrival. Human rights commission released that what the government was doing is illegal. Our nation in response focused not on the mistreatment of these innocent beings but instead asked for the resignation of the human rights commissioner, Gillian Triggs for shedding the truth of what is really
About two years ago, a C.I.A. torture report was released, the subject on detainees captured after September 11, who were suspected to be linked to the attack. One of the more famous detainees, Majid Khan, who had been afflicted with Al Qaeda, was captured in 2003 and was held at Guantanamo Bay since 2006. He says that the interrogators waterboarded him twice, was moved among series of C.I.A. operated “black sites” over some months, and the torture still continued. He was beaten repeatedly, hung from a wooden beam for three days, and shackled and starved. He was even submerged in an ice bath, the transparent ice burning his skin like fire, slowly numbing his body.
Problem claim: One of the claims that Goldman argues is that the prisoners are being mistreated and used for cheap labor. She states in her book, how the prisoners are being used to do jobs that no normal individual would do if they had their own feel will. The prisoners are also being pushed beyond their bodily limits and strengths. All this labor is done to help the state not the individual themselves.
They are starting to be released as an issue and some people are trying to stop them. The arrest of innocent people raises questions on the account of false witnesses ( Hezbollah).

The United States invasion of Iraq in 2003 was dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by US Forces, but it seemed like freedom was the last thing on their minds. Abu Ghraib prison was an occupied Iraqi prison where the US Army held mass incarcerations and sponsored inmate torture. 2007 marked the year that a documentary titled “Ghosts of Abu Ghraib” was produced by HBO and directed by Rory Kennedy. This documentary showed the abuses and injustices inured to the Iraqi prisoners at the hands of the United States Soldiers. Although the guards at Abu Ghraib Prison Complex had personal reservations against the treatment of the prisoners, they were manipulated into authoritarianism by their overzealous obedience.
