Hurricane Matthew, a category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 145 mph, is heading directly towards Guantanomo Bay. The US Navy will evacuate 700 family members of its military staff in anticipation of its arrival. No prisoners will be evacuated from the infamous prison.
Guantanamo bay prison was built years ago as a temporary solution, and is in need of major repair and upgrade. Matthew on its present course will cause a devastating storm surge and severe wind damage to a prison that suffers from drainage issues and structural faults.
This prison already denies due process and is contrary to international law and basic human decency. Now it gambles with its prisoners lives while protecting its own.
