Putin: Guantanamo prisoners face cruelty worthy of ?Middle Ages?
The President noted that American jails also see their prisoners die.
?Why, don?t people die in their prisons as well? Perhaps, even more than in ours,? he said.
Despite promises by the US leadership, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp is still operating.
?People are kept there without trial ? in shackles and chains just like in the Middle Ages,? Putin remarked and now, he continued, people ?who opened secret prisons and legalized torture during investigations? point out Russia's shortcomings.
As for the death of Magnitsky, Putin expressed his regret for the tragedy, but noted that the investigation into the case is not over and it is yet to be found who is to blame for the incident.
