Rights body: UK shouldn't use Cyprus hangar for detentions


Europe's top human rights body says a concrete aircraft hangar at a British military base on Cyprus is unsuitable to house people and should never be used for detentions. The Committee expressed concern about reports that young children were also detained there. Britain said it only detained adults who chose to have their children accompany them. It added it would "consider carefully" the committee's comments before using such a facility again. In 2015, protesters were detained at this hangar.
