EU Silent on Guantanamo Probe Proposed by Cuba

Havana, April 18 (AIN) The European Union remains silent on Cuba's resolution at the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva calling for an independent investigation into the situation at the offshore prison camp the Pentagon runs at its Guantanamo Naval Base.

To date, the European representatives have not responded to Cuba's challenge for the EU to take a stand on this burning human rights issue. The 53-member commission is scheduled to vote on the matter later this week.

Rodolfo Reyes Rodriguez, a Cuban representative to the UN body, said he hopes the European silence means that everyone agrees with the statements issued in the document.

Belarus is co-sponsoring the Cuban resolution. The ambassador of that country in Geneva emphasized that the situation of the prisoners in Guantanamo is a matter that greatly concerns the international community.
