Guantanamo Detainee Petitions Rights Panel Over Torture

WASHINGTON - A Guantanamo detainee on Wednesday urged a human rights panel that investigates abuse cases in the Americas to review his accusations that he was tortured in the US "war on terror" prison.

Djamel Ameziane, an Algerian who has been held at the US naval base in Cuba for six years as an "enemy combatant" without charge, became the first Guantanamo detainee to file a petition with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).
