Guantanamo Prison Here to Stay

HAVANA TIMES, Dec. 9 – The U.S. House of Representatives rejected the handing over of funds for the transfer of prisoners at the Guantánamo detention center to the United States, where they would be tried for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the Washington media reported. This vote represents, in fact, the prohibition of shutting down the prison installed on Cuban soil, one of President Barack Obama’s promises, reported IPS.

The prison, inside the US Naval Base, is located on occupied southeastern Cuban territory.
