Guantanamo Bay detention camp

Guantanamo Bay detention camp, located at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba, is a facility established by the U.S. government in 2002 to detain individuals suspected of terrorism after the September 11 attacks. It has been controversial due to allegations of human rights abuses and the use of torture. Many detainees have been held for years without trial, raising concerns about legal rights and due process. The camp symbolizes the broader debates around national security, counterterrorism, and the balance between civil liberties and safety in the post-9/11 era.
