Gitmo hearings begin for Canadian man who says US captors tortured him into confession
High-stakes hearings begin today at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in the case of Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen who says his U.S. captors tortured him into confessing to war crimes.
Derek Stoffel reports that the youngest detainee held at the Guantanamo prison facility may be allowed to return home next year. The sentence requires Khadr to serve one more year in the Guantanamo prison, before asking for permission to go to Canada.
