Here you should know about Guantanamo Bay.
What is Guantanamo Bay?
The Navy Station Guantanamo Bay has been used by the US since 1898, when US forces used the region in the Spanish-American war.
According to the Navy, a lease for 45 square miles of land and water at Guantanamo Bay was signed between the US and Cuba in 1903. Three decades later, a treaty was signed between the two countries in 1934, which confirmed the lease and added a requirement to eliminate the lease.
“The termination of the lease requires the consent of both the US and Cuba governments or the American abandonment of the base property,” The Navy said.
The Cuban revolution in the 1950s inspired the US to cut diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1961. Due to this, in 1964, the Cuba government cut the way for water and supply, Navy said,
Since then, the Navy says that the Navy station is completely self -sufficient with its sources for water and electricity.
Gwantanamo Bay has been criticizing for years
The basis has been Center for criticism and possible closure for decadesFormer President Barack Obama Signed a instruction in 2016 To discontinue the facility that was the subject of human rights groups attacks as the George W Bush administration opened it in view of 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Gwantanamo has continued a legacy of torture, indefinite prevention, Islamophobia, and injustice. In Gwantanamo, detainees are conducted without accusations or fair tests, violating the US Constitution and deprived of their basic human rights Is,” Amnesty International said In 2024.
Obama was never able to completely shut down the convenience, partly because the Congress’s Republican blocked the efforts to move particularly dangerous prisoners, which were considered as future terrorist threats.
Bush transferred around 500 detainees from Guantanamo Bay to other countries during his time to the office, and the Obama administration shifted around 200.
In 2018, President Donald Trump, during his first term Signed an executive order To keep the base open.
“I am also asking the Congress to ensure that, in the fight against ISIS and Al-Qaeda, we continue to have all the necessary power to keep the terrorists in custody-where we follow them,” he Said during the 2018 state.
