Three Teens Freed from Guantanamo
Three teenagers held for more than a year at Guantanamo Bay have been freed. Details of their conditions of confinement are here. [Hat tip to Kitt, thanks.]
Update: The AP reports on the release. The three were younger than 16.
"The detention of children as 'enemy combatants' and their interrogation without even the basic safeguards to which they were entitled was a significant violation of human rights," William F. Schulz, executive director of Amnesty International U.S.A., said in a statement. "The release of these children is long overdue, but does not let the U.S. off the hook for continued violations of the rights of hundreds of other detainees."
