I follow research guidelines that were created as a direct result of past human atrocities. I am reminded of the Nazis and other perpetrators of terror in the course of my work. The appalling injustice taking place in Guantanamo Bay will portray the US as cruel, hypocritical and unevolved in future, more enlightened years. Does the US want to leave this sort of legacy?

This has gone on for too long. Surely the time is now for you to honour your pledge to close the Guantánamo Bay facility.

The indefinite detention without trial or charges, inhumane conditions, beatings and disregard for basic dignity constitute a gross violation of human rights, and contradict the values for which the USA purports to stand.

The fact that over 100 detainees have resorted to hunger strikes is a clear sign of their desperation, and a signal to the US government that this has gone on for too long and must be changed. The detainees' rights and access to fair trials must be upheld in accordance with US and international law.

- Act with humanity in allowing civilian doctors to be involved in the hunger strikers' care.

- Act with courage and ensure that the facility is closed.

Thank you,

Laura Otaqui
