Russian mothers plead for sons to stay in Guantanamo

[Propaganda, misinformation or are Russian jails really this bad?]
The mothers of the eight Russians held with other prisoners from Afghanistan at the US military base at Guantanamo Bay have begged Washington not to extradite their sons to answer terror charges in Russia, fearing that conditions in their jails and judicial system are even worse than those at Camp Delta.
Camp Delta has been criticised by human rights groups for the "torturous" conditions under which inmates are held awaiting trial by a special military tribunal. There have been 28 suicide attempts among the 612 prisoners at the facility.
