GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — A senior official with the International Committee of the Red Cross issued a rare statement of alarm on Friday about deteriorating health conditions and inadequate preparations for aging prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. The U.S. military must do a better job of providing care for prisoners who are “experiencing the symptoms of accelerated aging, worsened by the cumulative effects of their experiences and years spent in detention,” Patrick Hamilton, the head of the Red Cross delegation for the United States and Canada, said in the statement. In March, Mr. Hamilton and other delegates made a routine quarterly visit to the detention facility, the organization’s 146th since the wartime prison opened in January 2002. He said the detainees’ “physical and mental health needs are growing and becoming increasingly challenging.”“Consideration must be given to adapting the infrastructure for the detainees’ evolving needs and disabilities, as well as the rules that govern their daily lives,” said Mr. Hamilton, who had last visited the prison in 2003, when 660 men and boys were held there. Today, 30 detainees remain.

Pilotul Lewis Hamilton va primi, totuși, titlul de cavaler al Imperiului Britanic, după ce recent a câştigat a şaptea oară Campionatul Mondial de Formula 1. Comisia care propune candidaturile pentru acest titlu a stabilit că afacerile sportivului sunt legale. Hamilton a fost vizat de o anchetă după ce şi-a înregistrat avionul personal în Insula Man, un paradis fiscal. Făcând acest lucru, el a economisit 3,3 milioane de lire sterline din taxele pe care trebuia să le plătească pentru aeronava cumpărată cu 16,5 milioane de lire sterline. Lewis Hamilton a mai fost propus în trecut pentru titlu de cavaler, ceea ce l-a nemulţumit pe fostul pilot de Formula 1, Jackie Stewart.
