The US military has provided conflicting reports
of a clash that took place Thursday between guards and prisoners at the
Guantánamo Bay, Cuba internment camp. Initially, a spokesman reported that
inmates, wielding improvised weapons, had confronted guards when the latter
attempted to prevent another detainee from committing suicide. The suicide
attempt was said to be the fourth of the day. 
prison camps at Guantanamo Bay were gripped
by a series of uprisings and disturbances which suggest a state of near revolt,
it has emerged. Reports from within the controversial detention centre in Cuba
claim the base's military commanders believe there were links between a series
of suicide attempts, medical emergencies and the violent clashes between 20
inmates and guards on Thursday [18th May].
Friday the 20th of May’s reports that at least four Guantanamo detainees had to be physically restrained from committing suicide is a very alarming development and an indication of the level of despair and desperation faced by all who continue to be illegally imprisoned in Guanatanamo Bay. It appears,from the scant reports we have received, that several other detainees were involved in a clash with the guards. Yet the British government refuses to act on behalf of British residents still detained at Guantanamo. Mambo is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.
