Gitmo Detainee Escapes via Suicide

A Yemeni detainee who was found dead last year at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, committed suicide by taking an overdose of psychiatric medication, according to a military report made public on Friday. Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif had hoarded medication prescribed for mental illness and died after ingesting two dozen capsules of a drug known as Invega, the report confirms. David Remes, a lawyer for Latif, previously denounced his continued incarceration, noting that an Obama administration task force in early 2010 recommended that he be released to a place where he could receive "necessary mental health treatment."
