Guantanamo Bay prisonIt has “fans” of a modern building, beautiful Church, several samples of the architecture of the nineteenth century. Around sugar plantations, semi-desert, known Monitongos - stone natural formations, like walking through the desert train. But this is not what today is known Guantanamo. Prison (photo), built in 2002, is now considered one of the most violent on the planet. Officially it is meant for terrorists and those who fought on the side of the enemy. This place is one of the most visited “attractions” Guantamo. Prison is 30 km from the city, and, of course, not even close to it tourists are not allowed. But few of them misses the opportunity to at least distance to look at the wall of the casemate, famous throughout the world for its rigidity and violation of the rights of prisoners.

Why Guantamo? The prison is built in the US and is leased indefinitely from Cuba. In the same territory is a military base of America. She bears the same name as the Bay, river, province and city: Guantamo. Prison is its natural continuation. The first “residents” was brought here in 2002. 20 Afghans fighting on the side of the Taliban, became the first prisoners of the dungeon. Since then have passed through more than 750 foreigners, including eight Russians. Some of them were extradited, the part transferred to other prisons, releasing some. But not the famous Guantanamo Bay. The prison is infamous because many prisoners were held there for years without charge. Moreover, there was and is a lot of people whose names are classified carefully. Was it justified? Among politicians there are different opinions. In 2006, Obama issued the order to disband and close the casemate. The world has become known as a brutally tortured prisoners as abused them and humiliated their dignity. After the decree Obama, some of them released and the other transferred to other places. But the decree was not fulfilled: the number of prisoners (according to various estimates, from 10 to 490 people) are still kept there.
