An American Baptist minister that formerly ministered as an army chaplain in Guantanamo Bay has reported of the conditions he encountered in the controversial camp in Cuba.
Michael Merrill, a former active duty US Army Chaplain, has told that the conditions in the camp were not as media had portrayed it, according to Premier Radio.
He said, “I believe that the news media doesn't tell the whole story, they really don't emphasise that the International Red Cross are there around the clock. It is important to remember that the International Red Cross are the watchdog for the humane treatment of prisoners.”
