US President Barack Obama should close Guantanamo Bay and set the inmates free to show that he has some moral courage and that he is really in control of his office, a political commentator says.Abayomi Azikiwe, the editor of Pan-African News Wire, made the remarks in a telephone interview with Press TV on yesterday, commenting on a news piece that five former Guantanamo prisoners are seeking damages from the US government for years of sexual, mental and physical abuse at the prison.
“I believe that all victims of the Guantanamo Bay should be compensated whether they are citizens of the United States or residents of any other country,” Azikiwe said.
“These people who have been there for so many years, and many of whom I have no absolute evidence that they have committed any serious crime, are eligible for . . . reparations and restitutions,” he added.
“Why should the United States be holding these people at Guantanamo Bay when there is no evidence that they are guilty?” he asked. – Press TV.
