The Faces Of Guantanamo

Omar Ahmed Khadr is the first person to be convicted of war crimes committed as a child since the second world war. A Canadian citizen, he was 15 when he was captured by US forces in Afghanistan and taken to Bagram air base where he later claimed that he had been forced to confess to terrorist crimes through coercive interrogation. In October 2002 he was transferred to Guantánamo and in October 2010 he pleaded guilty and was given an eight year sentence without any reduction for time served. Khadr is one of 21 detainees who were children when they were imprisoned at Guantanamo, the youngest having been 13. From here.
