ALKARAMA for Human Rights

On the occasion of the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture (June 26)

The journalist Sami El Haj in Geneva from 24-28 June 2008 to testify about his
7 years of detention without inculpation at Guantanamo

As is well known, Mr El Hajj is a Sudanese journalist for Aljazeera television. During the course of his work he was apprehended on the Pakistani border at the end of December 2001.

Detainees at Guantanamo Bay are turned into "nomads" to keep them agitated and to punish those who break rules, a Sudanese journalist recently released from the U.S. military prison said Friday.

Sami al-Haj said moving detainees between camps and from cell to cell appeared to be part of an official policy to destabilize them. "They were made into nomads," the Al-Jazeera journalist said.

On the occasion of the publication of its 2007 annual report, Alkarama for Human Rights organised an "Open Day"  event on Wednesday, June 11, 2008, from 15.00 to 19.00.
