According to the UC Davis Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas, fifteen juveniles spent time as prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp—three more than the U.S. State Department had publicly acknowledged.[1][2]
Three children who had been detained with adults, and treated and interrogated as if they were adults, at the Bagram Collection Point were provided with more humane conditions at Camp Iguana. But half a dozen teenagers who should have been considered minors even by the DoD's more stringent standards were not only detained with adults, and not provided with schooling, but reported being punished by long periods in isolation and subjected to abusive interrogation.[citation needed]
May 2008 report to the United Nations
On May 15, 2008 the American Civil Liberties Union published a report that the Bush Presidency had submitted to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child.[3] The report stated that the USA had apprehended 2500 juveniles—2400 of them in Iraq. The report stated that a total of ten juveniles had been held in the Bagram Theater Detention Facility. The report stated that a total of eight juveniles had been held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camps.
Washington admitted it is holding more than 500 juveniles under suspection of being "unlawful enemy combatants" in detention centers in Iraq. Another 10 are being held at the U.S. base at Bagram, Afghanistan.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
