The release of the interrogation video of the then 16 years old Omar Khadr shocked and outraged the world. Omar Khadr had been in Guantanamo detention since 2002. The Canadian Supreme Court ordered the Canadian Government to release the interrogation video of Omar Khadr on May to allow his defense team against the US Charges which includes charges that he spied and helped in the battle in Afghanistan.
The lawyers of Omar Khadr’s family issued the video in order to pressure the Canadian government to seek custody of the young boy before he is prosecuted for war crimes by the US Authorities.
The video shows a young Omar who helplessly cries for his mother.
The Canadian Intelligence officers shamelessly tortured the boy while interrogating him. The boy first thought that they were there to help him. Instead, he was subjected to several leading questions that a minor could not handle.
The United States Guantanamo prison facility is the opposite of what America stands for. It’s a place of torture for the innocent people that America dubbed as ‘Terrorists”. The Guantanamo facility is also a place where violations of US and International laws are made by the Americans who claims to be the champion of democracy and human rights!
