Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 " Washington has, for the first time, acknowledged to the United Nations that prisoners have been tortured at US detention centres in Guantanamo Bay, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq, a UN source said. " The acknowledgement was made in a report submitted to the UN Committee against Torture, said a member of the ten-person panel, speaking on on condition of anonymity. " 'They are no longer trying to duck this and have respected their obligation to inform the UN,' the Committee member said. " 'They they will have to explain themselves (to the Committee). Nothing should be kept in the dark,' he said. " UN sources said this is the first time the world body has received such a frank statement on torture from US authorities.
