Red Cross to Visit Cuba but US Naval Base not Castro's jails

The U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- that is.

Meanwhile, the last time the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was allowed by the Castro regime to inspect conditions in Cuba's prisons was in July 1959.

From AFP:

The International Committee of the Red Cross said Wednesday it had sent a delegation to check conditions at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, where over two dozen "War on Terror" detainees are on hunger strike.

"The ICRC initially had planned to start visiting individuals detained at Guantanamo from April 1, for a period of two weeks," spokesman Bijan Farnoudi told AFP.

"But in order to better understand the current tensions and the ongoing hunger strike, we decided to bring it forward by a week," he said.
