WASHINGTON (AFP) — A Bahraini detainee at the US prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba attempted suicide during his lawyer's visit in a sign of growing desperation among the more than 500 detainees in the military camp, according to a newspaper report.
Jumah al-Dossari, who has been held since late 2001 after being seized in Pakistan, slashed his arm and hung himself from the ceiling during a bathroom break from talks with his US lawyer on October 15, the Washington Post reported.
While suicide attempts have been reported before in the Guantanamo prison, located on a US navy base in Cuba, it was the first to be witnessed by an outsider.
