My question is to the Minister for Justice and Customs, Senator Ellison. American historian Professor Alfred McCoy says that Guantanamo Bay is a place specifically designed to psychologically break detainees. Does the minister agree that the prolonged use of solitary confinement and sensory deprivation qualifies as torture? Why is David Hicks still there, 4½ years after his arrest?
