Torture at Guantanamo Bay: UN investigators

There are reliable reports of prisoners being tortured at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, United Nations human rights investigators said Thursday.

They say many of the allegations come from declassified United States government documents.

The investigators also accused the U.S. of stalling on their request to visit foreign detainees to check on their condition. They made their request in April.

While Washington has allowed the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit Guantanamo, it says it is still considering the UN's request.
