Adnan Latif , held without charge since 2002, found dead at Guantanamo Bay
Sep 12, 2012 by RTAmerica
Over the weekend an inmate at Guantanamo Bay was found dead in his cell. Adnan Latif was one of the first individuals to be brought to the prison after he was caught on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan nearly a decade ago. The Yemen native claimed to be seeking medical aid at the time, but the US military accused him of being an al-Qaeda recruit. Airforce attorney Colonel Morris Davis joins us analyze what is going on at Gitmo.
“This is a man who would not accept his situation,” Remes said. “He would not accept his mistreatment. He would not go gently into that good night.”
Latif was well known in the small community of lawyers and human rights activists who focus on national security issues and Guantanamo because his legal challenge that was turned back by the Supreme Court in June was considered a major setback in the battle against the policy of holding men for more than decade without charge at the US base in Cuba.
“The death of Adnan Latif, who had repeatedly attempted suicide in the past, underscores the terrible human cost of indefinite detention,” said Andrea Prasow, senior counterterrorism counsel for Human Rights Watch.
The US military said Latif was 32, but Remes said his passport and other records indicate he was 35 or 36 and spent much of his life in his native country. He was in a car accident in 1994 and suffered a severe head injury that his lawyers said prompted him to travel to Afghanistan for medical treatment in August 2001.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10833462&ref=rss
