介绍:
Greg Barton,澳大利亚莫纳什大学教授,全球恐怖主义研究中心主任 Professor Greg Barton, Director International, Global Terrorism Research Centre (GTReC);School of Political and Social Inquiry at Monash University, Victoria, Australia, and acting Director of the Centre for Islam and the Modern World (CIMOW). The US government says it has released six Guantanamo Bay detainees and sent them to Uruguay for resettlement. All six had been detained as suspected militants with ties to al-Qaeda but were never charged. Cori Crider, lawyer for one of the six former prisoners, is accusing the US government of refusing to assist with prisoners' protest against force feeding. "These are the people who force feed people and say we are not trying to punish people, we are trying preserve their health and preserve their life, and here we are trying to help him come safely off his protest and they won't let him have even a juice." Uruguayan President Jose Mujica decided to take the detainees on humanitarian grounds in March but the move was put off until after elections last month.
