Guantánamo Bay (Spanish: Bahía de Guantánamo) is a bay located in Guantánamo Province at the southeastern end of Cuba. It is the largest harbor on the south side of the island and it is surrounded by steep hills which create an enclave that is cut off from its immediate hinterland.
The United States assumed territorial control over the southern portion of Guantánamo Bay under the 1903 Cuban–American Treaty. The United States exercises complete jurisdiction and control over this territory, while recognizing that Cuba retains ultimate sovereignty. The current government of Cuba regards the U.S. presence in Guantánamo Bay as illegal and insists the Cuban–American Treaty was obtained by threat of force and is in violation of international law. Some legal scholars judge that the lease may be voidable. It is the home of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, which is governed by the United States.
The United States first seized Guantánamo Bay and established a naval base there in 1898 during the Spanish–American War in the Battle of Guantánamo Bay In 1903, the United States and Cuba signed a lease granting the United States permission to use the land as a coaling and naval station. The lease satisfied the Platt Amendment; this amendment stated a naval base at "certain specific points agreed upon by the President of the United States" was needed to "enable the United States to maintain independence of Cuba." The United States and Cuba signed a treaty in 1934, granting the United States a perpetual lease. Private enterprise is not allowed under the treaty.

Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News Almost 800 men have been held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility since it was established in 2002. Today, fewer than 150 remain. Despite the fact that more than half of current detainees have been cleared for transfer from the base, and in spite of the executive order signed by President Barack Obama in 2009 ordering the closure of the prison within one year, there's no indication it will be shuttered anytime soon.

You’ve probably read, watched, or heard something controversial about the Guantanamo Bay detention camp since it started housing suspected terrorists in 2002. This past year, most media has centered around hunger strikes—which is one of the most well-known ways that prisoners protest their indefinite detainment—and the subsequent force-feeding they endure. Last year, there were over 100 detainees on hunger strike. But what about the detainees that are eating? Fortunately for them, there's Sam, the cheery middle-aged Korean chef that takes pride in each meal she whips up. Sam makes chicken eight different ways, prepares both Halal and Kosher meals, and bakes an impressive assortment of cookies. And every ingredient used in her kitchen comes from … you guessed it … America. Our host Gian...

113 years ago Cuba signed an indefinite treaty allocating Guantanamo Bay to the U.S. exclusively for a naval or coal mining station. In 1959, the Cuban government officially rules the occupation illegal. The U.S. continues to refuse to give back the naval base. It is one of the last outstanding issues impeding the normalization of U.S.-Cuba relations. http://multimedia.telesurtv.net/v/anniversary-us-occupation-of-guantanamo-bay/

David Remes who represents 17 Guantánamo prisoners, has strongly criticised the pain inflicted on his clients. He says the number of men on hunger strike has reached 130, that is 30 higher than the number given by the US military. Prisoners began the hunger strike in February to protest against conditions and indefinite confinement.
The landmark Supreme Court case Rasul v. Bush established that Gitmo detainees have habeus corpus rights, in other words they have the right for a US court to determine if there detention is valid. RT America’s Simone Del Rosario sits down with Thomas Wilner, lawyer and cofounder of Close Guantanamo, who was also counsel of record in the Rasul v. Bush and says that the lower courts have “gutted” detainees’ rights to habeus corpus since the Rasul v. Bush case.

Captured by Julie Schwietert Collazo and edited by Joshua Johnson, this video explores life at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba from a guards perspective. Julie walks through the now closed down Camp X-Ray and interviews a Gitmo guard on daily life at Americas notorious detention facility. Since images of the detainees and most other persons and objects cannot leave the facility the video footage is censored and guards adhere to strict guide lines as to what he may or may not speak of. This story reads best between the lines, when ordinary life unfolds. Check out more videos from Matador Network http://matadornetwork.comwww.collazoprojects.com www.confluencecreativemedia.com
