- Court documents suggest David Hicks is spending 22 hours a day in
'nightmarish' isolation in conditions described by inmates as 'a
dungeon above the ground'.
David Hicks is spending 22 hours a day in "nightmarish" isolation in
conditions described by Guantanamo Bay inmates as "a dungeon above the
ground", court documents suggest.
Fresh evidence about the treatment of prisoners in the US military base
has been revealed amid deepening concerns about the Australian
terrorist suspect's mental state, and just days before Hicks receives a
visit from his Australian lawyer.
Conditions inside Hicks' cell block at the naval base in Cuba are so
bad that detainees are suffering mental health problems ranging from
"crushing loneliness" to hearing "voices", the documents say.
Life inside Guantanamo Bay's Camp 6, where Hicks was transferred in
early December from another section of the prison, has been detailed in
declarations filed in a case in the US District Court.
Lawyers are trying to expedite hearings for five terrorist suspects who
are Uighur Muslims from the Xinjiang region of northern China that
borders Central Asia.
The documents say the impact of Camp 6 conditions on the inmates has
been "profound", and all five Uighurs are struggling to pass the days
of "infinite tedium and loneliness".
"All describe a feeling of despair, crushing loneliness and abandonment
by the world," a statutory declaration by the men's lawyer, Sabin
Willett, said.
"One felt he was in the 'dungeon above the ground'; another said 'it feels like we are in tunnels'.
"All expressed a desperate desire for sunlight, fresh air and someone to speak to."
The tiny cells in camp 6 are constructed of solid metal and receive no natural air or sunlight.
There are no windows except for small glass strips which provide a view
of the corridor, a clock and the military police guarding them.
They eat and pray alone and have no reading material other than the Koran.
Each inmate is allowed two hours "rec time" every 24 hours, but this is
frequently only called late at night or in the early hours of the
morning.
Recreation time is spent in a confined area measuring three metres by
four metres and surrounded by concrete walls two storeys high, giving
prisoners little chance of seeing the sun.
The US military had imposed on the men "a regimen of isolation and
cruelty unheard of in penal or military law and unknown to civilised
people", said Willett, who visited Guantanamo Bay on January 15 to 18.
Hicks', who is waiting for fresh charges to be laid against him, has
been held at Guantanamo Bay without trial for five years and has been
in continuous isolation since March last year.
His American military lawyer, Marine Corps Major Michael Mori, said he was disturbed by the reported conditions inside Camp 6.
"It's worse than even our supermax prisons in the United States," he told AAP.
"They've got TV, they've got books. These people don't have anything."
Hicks' Australian lawyer David McLeod left for Cuba on Friday and is
due to visit Guantanamo on Monday, but has said there is no guarantee
his Adelaide-born client will agree to see him.
The 31-year-old, who was captured among Taliban forces in Afghanistan
in December 2001, refused to take a phone call from his family just
before Christmas, raising fresh concerns about his emotional state.
Charges of conspiracy, aiding the enemy and attempted murder were
dropped after the US Supreme Court ruled last June that the military
commissions to try Guantanamo Bay detainees were unlawful.
The Pentagon announced a new system of military commissions earlier
this month and Hicks is expected to face fresh charges within weeks.
Attorney-General Philip Ruddock said he wasn't aware of the specific
conditions in which Hicks is detained, but added Australia is pushing
for charges to be laid within weeks.
"I haven't seen the documents and I undoubtedly will be briefed on any
documentation that has been tabled, but at this point I haven't seen
any such documentation," he said.
"The prime minister has made it clear that we will be seeking from the
United States charges by mid-February and we'll see how events unfold
from there."
