Gitmo

Guantanamo Bay, often called "Gitmo," is a U.S. naval base located in Cuba that has a detention facility used to hold terrorism suspects. Established in 2002, it has become controversial because detainees are held without typical legal rights and fair trials, raising concerns about human rights and legal processes. The facility is intended for security purposes, but its existence prompts ongoing discussions about justice, civil liberties, and the balance between national security and individual rights.
