In the book persepolis, Samat told Marjane and her family that " The toturers did various toutures to the prisoners. Those totures include pulling out prisoners' nail, whipping them with thick electric cables, putting out cigarettes on prisoner's back and burned them with an iron . The worst did include cutting prisoner's body into pieces(Satrapi51).
My topic today will address Gutanamo Bay. How many in this class are aware of the term " Guatanamo Bay?" Guatanamo bay is a controvorsial detention center operated by Joint Task Force Guantanamo since 2002 in Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, which is on the shore of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The detention center has been holding prisoners from the invasion of Afghanistan and the war on terror since 2002. An important aspect that we all should know is Guatanamo bay prisoners are being excluded from the Geneva Convention which set them out of the international law of humanitarian concern. Without doubt, prisoners in Guantanamo did receive similar totures like the one that read in Persepolis. With this in mind, I would like to show you life in the Guatanamo Bay with a video clip.
Newly elected president, senator Barack Obama made a statement in the Independent Times on 17 November 2008 which states that upon taking office, he will close Guatanamo bay. Personally , I feel that Senataor Obama has made a wise decision to stop all totures and bringing human rights back to the prisoners again. However, some articles in the newspapers are asking how Senataor Obama is going to handle future captures of terrorism suspects.

Very well done presentation. I really like the way you present your presentation, especially the part when you showed the class the video clip about Guantalamo Bay. The video clip convinces the audiences the experience being in Guantalamo Bay in a great scale. Good job and thank you for sharring with us.
