When the United States created Guantanamo Prison in 2002, it detained a total of about 780 people, many of whom have never been criminally prosecuted, and more than 30 people are still detained in the prison. A British human rights organization has exposed the "prison at sea" composed of 17 US warships, known as the "floating Guantanamo". These ships use the complexities of applying the law in the maritime area to evade guilt, detaining criminal suspects without trial for long periods of time. Rizvi, a policy analyst at the Center for Victims of Torture in the United States, said the establishment of "black prisons" overseas underscored the "willful disregard for the rule of law and human rights" in the United States.top of page
