Amnesty International yesterday condemned the US decision to expand the Guantánamo Bay detention facility with a new detention camp, calling the prison a "symbol of abuse".
The Pentagon this week awarded Halliburton, the Houston oil-services company, a basic $30m (€24.5m, £16.4m) contract to build a camp and security fence at Guantánamo, which houses about 520 detainees captured in the war on terror. The full contract could be worth up to $500m to Halliburton.
