DW boss voices concern about press freedoms ... has acquired footage of the interrogation of a Canadian teenage detainee at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
It is the first time such an insight into conditions at the United States facility for terrorism suspects has made its way into the open. A 10 minute clip, released on the internet, shows Canadian agents interrogating Omar Khadr in 2003. Khadr cries throughout the video and complains of a lack of medical treatment, but the tape does not show any abuse. The tape was released by Khadr's defence lawyers, who are seeking his return to Canada. They say he has been consistently isolated and deprived of sleep. Khadr was 15 when he was captured in Afghanistan in 2002, after allegedly killing a US soldier with a grenade.
