> Telegraph (with additional material by AFP). 20 January 2002.
> Cuba camp is 'unacceptable.'
>
> Al Qa'eda prisoners held in Cuba are being subjected to "sensory
> deprivation" by their American captors, shocking some observers and
> adding to international concern at their treatment.
>
> Pictures released of the men show them blindfolded, tightly shackled and
> forced to wear face masks, ear covers and gloves, denying them use of
> key senses.
>
> Amnesty International said the pictures were "shocking" and showed the
> men were being "softened up" for interrogation.
>
> Pictures reportedly taken by a US Navy officer and released to the media
> show a group of kneeling, manacled prisoners. They are wearing dark
> goggles to blot out the light, ear muffs to keep out sound, bright
> orange jump suits and mittens.
>
> The right-wing Mail on Sunday, which could normally be expected to
> support the United States, ran the photographs under the headline
> "Tortured."
>
> "They can hear nothing, smell nothing, feel nothing," the middle-market
> tabloid said, describing the prisoners as being "shackled like wild
> animals".
>
> "Manacled hand and foot, they kneel in submission. Is this how (US
> president George W.) Bush and (British Prime Minister Tony) Blair defend
> our civilisation?"
>
> The pictures were so shocking they were "certain to intensify the
> international outrage at the conditions in which they are being kept,"
> the Mail on Sunday said.
