Lawsuit says migrants endure isolation and intimidation at US’ Guantanamo detention center
SUMMARY: Immigration and civil rights advocates are expressing renewed concerns over the treatment of immigrants detained at Guantanamo Bay. A recent lawsuit filed on behalf of two Nicaraguans alleges that detainees face extreme isolation and limited access to legal counsel, creating a climate of “fear and intimidation.” This environment, described as more restrictive than other facilities, undermines their constitutional rights. Attorneys report that legal communications are not confidential, as detainees are restrained during calls. Testimonies reveal fears of monitoring and reprisals. Advocates are seeking judicial intervention for the rights of future immigrant detainees at Guantanamo amid increased deportations.
