Guantanamo Bay Prison Video Released

A prisoner’s lawyers have released the first video footage of inside the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay to the media.

Ten minutes of footage was selected from over seven hours of interrogation video of twenty-one-year-old Omar Khadr. In the video Khadr cries for help, complains of mistreatment, impaired vision and mobility. He told pleaded with agents that he was not healing well. “No I'm not. You're not here... I lost my eyes. I lost my feet. Everything!" Khadr said.

Khadr was fifteen years old when he was detained in Guantanamo Bay. He was accused of setting off a hand grenade that killed a US soldier in Afghanistan in 2002.

Khadr’s lawyers hope the footage will outrage viewers, but Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr. J.D. Gordon, maintained that there has been no mistreatment in an interview with the AP. “Our policy is to treat detainees humanely and Khadr has been treated humanely,” Gordon said.

This controversial video will likely cause debate over the treatment of prisoners in the Guantanamo facility.
