c/o Denny LeBoeuf, American lawyer for several Guantanamo detainees, speaking at Reprieve workshop:
the courtrooms at Guantanamo are divided in two, with family members of the defendants, human right activists and federal and civil lawyers sitting behind a glass partition and hearing proceedings with a 42-second delay.
A man presses a switch connected to a red light every time the defence lawyers mention any details of torture.
This is done to avoid any mention of the torture the prisoners are sometimes subjected to.
While the prosecution had access to intelligence documents, among other resources, the defence usually had neither access to such documents nor sufficient capital.
The prisoners, during meetings with lawyers, are made to wear masks and goggles and are not provided translators...
