11:20 am
a yemeni terrorist suspects held at the controversial detention center since two thousand and two after his arrest the whole family was accused of links to terrorists only man now we have them america's support for human rights is merely a show it only cares about its own people well it destroys the rights of all others who have been suffering for thirteen years now. and yemen president obama's recent promise to lift restrictions off get most detainees specifically from the country was greeted with nothing but sneers. weird start of these nonstop lies a bum remembers about guantanamo only during election campaigns and on holidays he promised to shut it down several times and to forward their cases to their home countries these are all lies. meanwhile back in one town away itself as the thirty yemeni prisoners wait for the u.s. president's promises to come true the four month long hunger strike against their
