The doctors at the Guantánamo torture center
VOLTAIRE NETWORK 
Scientific magazine PLoS Medecine has published a study by Dr Vincent Iacopino (senior medical adviser forPhysicians for Human Rights) and retired Brigadier General Stephen Xenakis on the role played by doctors at the Guantánamo torture centre.
Guantanamo’s premises are structured in separate detention blocks. The study examines the cases of nine people detained in the prison boasting the least severe conditions. It shows that the doctors purposefully covered up abuses and prepped the victims to endure additional ones.
