Camp Delta Death Plan
The BBC reports on plans for a court and an exectution chamber at Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Major-General Geoffrey Miller told the BBC,
...there are also plans to build a permanent prison block for those convicted and sentenced and an execution chamber should any be sentenced to death. "We're getting ready so we won't be starting from scratch," he said.
So far none of the 680 detainees have been charged with a crime. They are all being held as "enemy combatants." Criminal cases are being prepared against ten of them. None have been allowed to see a lawyer or have access to the courts.
Human rights groups have criticised both the makeshift conditions at the prison camp and the lack of rights afforded to the detainees.
