Hundreds to be released from Guantanamo war on terror base: report
(AFP) - The United States is preparing to release or transfer hundreds of prisoners from its controversial Guantanamo Bay war on terror detention camp in Cuba, according to a newspaper report . Quoting a senior US defence official, the Financial Times newspaper said the releases would be part of a restructuring of the camp which will include the building of a new prison for long-term inmates. There are about 550 inmates from more than 20 countries at the camp on the US naval base, many of whom have been held for three years without access to a lawyer or being told whether they would be charged.
