More Prisoners Arrive at Guantanmo
More than two dozen men arrived at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba on Friday, bringing the total number of detainees at the naval base up to about 650.
The Pentagon released figures on suicide attempts at the prison camp. There have been 15 suicide attempts in the past year since the camp opened. Five prisoners tried to hang themselves withing the past three weeks.
Amnesty International is calling for an investigation to determine whether interrogation techniques are causing the suicide attempts.
The Government would not disclose exactly how many new prisoners arrived or what country they came from.
"The detainees, treated by the U.S. government as enemy combatants, are being held indefinitely without being formally charged or tried, and they are interrogated without access to lawyers."
