The Guantánamo Bay detention camp is a U.S. military facility located on the Guantánamo Bay naval base in Cuba. Established in 2002, it was created to detain individuals captured during the War on Terror, particularly those suspected of terrorism or related activities. The camp has been controversial due to concerns about human rights and the treatment of detainees. Over the years, the detention camp has housed hundreds of individuals, many of whom have been held without trial. The U.S. government has faced criticism for its policies regarding Guantánamo, leading to ongoing debates about national security, legal rights, and the future of the facility.
