UNHRC Tells Washington to Shut the “Secret” Jails

Listening to: Banquet - Junior Sanchez Mix - Bloc Party

From Reuters:

The U.N. Human Rights Committee on Friday told Washington it should immediately shut all “secret detention” facilities and give the International Committee of the Red Cross access to anybody held in armed conflict.

In findings on U.S. observance of the U.N.’s main political rights’ convention, the committee said it had “credible and uncontested” information that the United States had detained people “secretly and in secret places for months and years.”
