Guantanamo 'does not meet Geneva Convention standards'

A defence lawyer who gained rare access to an ultra-secret section of the Guantanamo Bay prison said yesterday it does not meet international standards under the Geneva Convention.

The claims made by James Connell, a lawyer for one of the five Guantanamo prisoners charged over the September 11 terror attack, have been denied by the chief prosecutor for the US military’s war crimes tribunal.
