Germany’s former SPD-Green government blocked release of Guantánamo prisoner Murat Kurnaz
The Social Democratic-Green coalition government led by Gerhard Schröder (SPD) not only refused to assist German-born Murat Kurnaz while he was subjected to four years of detention in the US prison camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, but it also worked energetically to block his release and to keep the public in the dark about his case. This is what has clearly emerged from new revelations made in the course of Kurnaz’s testimony last week before two parliamentary committees of inquiry.
