An article in the Denver posts suggests the violation of Due Process for prisoners in the infamous Guantanamo Bay Prison that is located in Cuba. This prison was primarily for middle east terrorist organizations detainee's and was put into place after the attacks on 9/11. The count for the number of prisoners now is about 61 people and out of that number of prisoners, 20 of those individuals have already been cleared to be let go but still are detained.
As far as we are concerned with the information given, these individuals are being detained still and Guantanamo is in violation of Due Process. In these circumstances there are individuals that are able to leave that are not being given the right. There are also other individuals that though guilty of some acts of terrorism are being denied the right to have a trial before a judge.
This article is cogent. This is a plain example of wrongful use and denial of due Process. No matter where your loyalty stands, this is breaking the law.
