Omar Khadr faces a Guantanamo military tribunal over an incident that occurred when he was 15. The case will remind many of President Obama’s failure to keep promises made about the detention facility
…Not only is harsh interrogation and coercion banned under the Third Geneva Convention, but according to Human Rights Watch counterterrorism adviser Stacy Sullivan, the U.S. government, in Khadr’s case, violated a slew of its own laws and U.N. regulations. “As a child prisoner, Khadr should have been kept away from adults, given family visits and education, none of which happened,” Sullivan says. Khadr’s request for Sudoku puzzles was turned down. He was allowed to order a book on origami, the Japanese art of folding paper, but his wardens then refused to give him any paper, say his attorneys. And besides, argues Sullivan, “it’s unprecedented in modern history to prosecute a child for war crimes.”
