Washington – Most of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay have complained in certain interviews conducted by different agencies including New York Times reveal that they are subjected to unduly harsh treatment meted out to them.

Such treatment is being exercised against the Prisoners at Cuba Base as a matter of routine, even though some military officials said that such treatment is given only to the select cases.

The people, military guards, intelligence agents and others, described in interviews with the New York Times a range of procedure that included treatment they said was highly abusive occurring over a long period of time, as well as rewards for prisoners who cooperated with interrogators.

According to Neil A. Lewis of NYT, such sessions could last up to 14 hours with breaks.

An official commented: "It fried them," who said the anger over the treatment that the prisoners endured was the reason for speaking with a reporter. Another person familiar with the procedure, who was contacted said, "They were very wobbly and unstable". They came back to their cells and were just completely worn out."

According to the eyewitnesses including those who were deployed on such techniques against the prisoners said in anonymity that the brutal treatment being meted out to the prisoners is of course very harsh and unjustifiable. They expressed their identities should not be revealed, otherwise they would also fetch some serious trouble. The code of such harsh treatment, which is given to the prisoners, is known as "Dirty 30".

When the concerned officials were contacted to give their comments on the report submitted in August prepared by Defense Secretary Donald H Rumsfeld said, the govt. policy has laid down certain tough treatment for extreme cases. But it is found that this practice is being exercised to abuse the prisoners without any restriction, distinction or nature of crime.

However, David Shefer, a senior official from the State Department human rights in the Clinton Administration said that the procedure of shocking prisoners or causing severe pain and unbearable suffering to them as provided in the Convention August Torture is against the human rights, which MIL corroborates.

The abusive treatment to Iraqi prisoners is still fresh, another abusive case of Prisoners should be avoided and they should be treated as human beings under human rights rather than their own made local rules just to take revenge, we are living in a civilized world.
