Eleven Years Lost in Translation
Johanna Hortolani on the eleven Years Guantánamo detainee Emad Abdalla Hassan has lost in translation
Until I started working at Reprieve, I did not often think of Guantánamo Bay — the torture that detainees have endured, scores still held there despite being cleared (84 of 164, or 51% of them), the horrors of force-feeding, a black mark on America’s reputation for decency and human rights. Translating to a high standard is difficult — that’s why people do degrees before they ask to be paid to translate even material of little consequence.
