RELATED LINKS IN SUPPORT OF THE KUWAITEE POLITICAL PRISONERS

Support for the Kuwaiti detainees has come from the most respected and non-political humanitarian agencies across the globe, including:

International Committee of the Red Cross
In January 2003, the International Committee of the Red Cross stated, “There has been much public debate about whether the internees in Guantanamo Bay are prisoners of war or not. The ICRC thinks that the legal status of each internee needs to be clarified on an individual basis and has repeatedly urged the U.S. to do this. In any case, the U.S. has the right to legally prosecute any internee at Guantanamo Bay suspected of having committed war crimes or any other criminal offence punishable under US law prior to or during the hostilities.”

Human Rights Watch
