User:Geo Swan/working/Suicides attempts by Guantanamo detainees

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



I started this subpage a long time ago, before I knew it was possible to simply move subpages in user space to article space. I started an article, in article space, based on this subpage. I could request {{db-author}} on this. Alternately I believe it is not unreasonable for me to request a history merge. I will soon request a history merge.

United States spokesmen say there have been just 41 Suicides attempts by Guantanamo detainees.[1] Critics say there have been many times more suicide attempts, and that camp authorities have taken the bureaucratic measure of labeling those attempts as "self-injurious behavior", so they could under-report the number of suicide attempts.
