Should a place like Guantanamo still exist?

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

Should a place like Guantanamo still exist? You're talking about 84 out of 166 prisoners who are on hunger strike at the US-run detention centre, Guantanamo Bay. They are protesting against their indefinite detention and most are being held without charge. Sixteen of those are being force fed and five are being treated in hospital. The facility opened in 2002 to hold suspects captured in counter-terrorism operations after the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US.
