Human rights and freedoms are inferior to totalitarianism - the road to Guantanamo

I wanted to see this movie years ago. It's a good documentary about war and prisoner abuse. A few years ago, when I was still interested in the Middle East world, the international humanitarian organization in Hong Kong released this film. At that time, I didn't go, because I was afraid to go alone. Later, there was an event, which was a lecture given by Nahoko Takato, a Japanese kidnapped in Iraq, but at that time a piece of film to be broadcast could only be watched by the 18-year-old. As a result, I missed it, and the time passed for a long time. I forgot, maybe I lost my passion for the day. All dreams, all aspirations, actually started from here, because of Zou Songhua (a staff member of the International Humane Organization), because of her book, and my idol Miss Zhang Cuirong. (Ms. Zhang is definitely my idol. As a Hong Kong-based female war correspondent, she crossed borders and was not afraid of hardships to go to the Middle East and Latin America. When there was no newspaper willing to spend money to invite people to go down this road, she resolutely went superior). I know that many students in the journalism department are very superficial people. They don't understand their own aspirations, they think that news is an ordinary thing, and they can only escape when they encounter things. No respect for the news, no respect for one's own identity. There is no basic professional ethics, let alone enthusiasm for news.

The Guantanamo Naval Base is located in Cuba, where in addition to being the base there is a prison for the US military. This film is a set of documentaries, which tells the story of a British-borrowed Pakistani who came home to get married and learned that the neighboring country was fighting in Afghanistan. The time was exactly 2001. In order to avenge the 9/11 incident, the United States was looking for bin Laden and al-Qaeda. These young people developed sympathy and embarked on this road. Their original intention was to help the people who were baptized by the war, but during a gathering, they were treated as terrorists by the US military and sent to prison, where they lived an inhuman life, and a person was treated as a life that was not human. . The "suspects" did not even have the human rights they deserved. They were beaten, played with, and questioned. A group of people become without self-esteem. When they were sent to Cuba, they knelt on the ground under the scorching sun, their heads were covered, they lived outdoors, there was no freedom of conversation, no prayer life. Some just solve physiological needs in the barrel, all still exist. beaten, forced to confess...

Of course, there are still many atrocities committed by the US military, including the torture of prisoners in Iraq. Many such photos can be found on the Internet. How heart-wrenching, at the same time we should be thinking, if we were soldiers and were instructed by our superiors, would we still be like this? I don't think we dare to answer this question, people are often helpless. Only we are worthy of ourselves. In the end, those Pakistanis were held in Cuba for two years before being released. Of course, we know that they were wrongly jailed, but they said they had no regrets and changed their lives. At the same time, they thank God Allah, we can think about a question, many times when we see people at first sight, do we sink a boat? It is because they are Arabs, Westerners are prejudiced against them, and we are Chinese, whether Prejudice against some people. At the end of the film it is mentioned that more than 500 people are still being held at Guantanamo.

The news on November 21 mentioned that the PEC annual sleeve summit will be held on the 21st. Protesters performed an action drama in Lima, the capital of Peru, demanding that the United States close the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where terrorist suspects are detained. (NetEase)

Their way is still far away. May the Lord bless them, and we have to be thankful for our lives. The incident made us realize that there is such a group of people in the world who have been deprived of their human rights and freedoms. Hope the world becomes better.
