Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp
The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a military prison of the United States of America on the eastern tip of the island of Cuba. In this prison, the people being held are accused by the US government of terrorism. The liberal organization Center for Constitutional Rights is organizing attorneys to file habeas corpus petitions in the Washington, D.C., federal court on behalf of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
