The tragedy was just waiting to happen... These deaths reflect the desperation for a basic human need - a need for justice, a need to have someone hear what these incarcerated people have to say, then be duly punished if a crime has been committed or be set free.
Three of the detainees are now gone without ever having seen a court or enjoyed a system of justice that is held so dearly by their captors.

Washington, which considers itself the sponsor of democracy and human rights in the world, and whose administration, House of Representatives and the Senate adopt sanctions against several countries that it sees as violating democracy and human rights, appears today as the main suspect in the violation of these rights.

The US official report on the suicides of the [two] Saudis and Yemeni prisoners in Guantanamo Bay is being met with scepticism by lawyers and international human rights institutions. The prevalent belief is that they died of torture...

COMMENTARY IN SYRIA'S TISHRIN
Certainly, US President George Bush did not voice his growing concern about the suicide of three detainees in Guantanamo out of sadness about the suicides or because of the tragic situation of those who are still alive 'dead' in this Nazi detention centre.

On the contrary, the reports issued by organisations, some of which are affiliated to the UN, are unanimous that the rights of the detainees are being violated and they are being exposed to various kinds of physical and moral torture, including deliberate insulting of their beliefs and disrespecting their heavenly books.

Fed up with atrocities in the notorious Guantanamo Bay prison, three Muslim prisoners have committed suicide. The question arises here - under such strict security, how did the prisoners get the opportunity to prepare rope and hang themselves with it?
Any impartial international tribunal should carry out a probe of matters at Guantanamo prison so that actual facts can come to the surface.
