Camp Five Echo is a once secret "disciplinary block" built as part of the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.〔 (mirror ) 〕〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 The press first reported on the existence of the camp in December 2011 when attorneys for Shaker Aamer, who had been held at the camp for extended periods of time, complained that conditions there were inhumane.〔 〕 According to Carol Rosenberg, writing in the ''Miami Herald'' the camp is used to punish captives.〔 Like Camp Platinum, Camp Strawberry Fields and Camp No, Camp Five Echo had never been mentioned when journalists and other visitors are given tours of the internment facility.〔 〕 ==Construction history== Rosenberg reported the camp was constructed in November 2007, on the grounds of Camp Five.〔 However, unlike Camp Five and Camp Six, which are copies of prisons designed for the United States Bureau of Prisons, Camp Five Echo is built out of recycled shipping containers. According to Rosenberg a February 2009 report prepared by Admiral Patrick Walsh, on overall compliance with the Geneva Conventions, described the camp as ''“an open air facility with 24 individual adjoining steel mesh cells arranged in two parallel and equal rows.”''〔 Walsh wrote that captives were first held in Camp Five Echo in April 2008. Rosenberg wrote that she did not know when the mesh walls were replaced with steel plates. A military spokesman said the cells in “Five Echo” are only half the size of the ones in Camp Five, but he asserted this was still within the acceptable range of sizes.〔 Like the original Camp Xray the cells were equipped with a squat toilet. Water for washing was via a tap in the wall—captives had no wash basin.〔 Captives, like Shaker Aamer, have told their attorneys that the solid steel walls made it practically impossible for them to talk with one another.〔 Rosenberg reported she had recently learned the cost and other details of the camp in an email from camp spokesperson Commander Tamsen Reese.〔 The camp cost $690,000. Walsh's report said that captives had been first held in the camp in April 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camp Five Echo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
