Rights Group Charges Continued Religious Infringements At Guantanamo

The Center for Constitutional Rights on Monday released a report titled Conditions of Confinement at Guantanamo: Still in Violation of the Law. The report focuses on conditions during January and February of 2009, saying in part:
The men detained at Guantánamo continue to suffer from religious humiliation and the inability to engage in religious practices. Continued religious abuses include the invasion of privacy and unnecessary forced nudity, the denial of the right to pray communally, and the deprivation of a Muslim Chaplain.
