The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a U.S. military facility located on the Guantanamo 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 a variety of individuals, including foreign nationals and alleged members of terrorist organizations. Legal challenges and debates about its existence continue, with some calling for its closure while others argue for its necessity in national security.
