The images about the life of the prisoners in the Guantánamo Detention Center have been thoroughly controlled and censored for the rest of the world by the United States military for more than twenty years.

However, the New York Times has obtained never-before-published photos from the National Archives of the first prisoners brought from Afghanistan to the war prison located at the naval base that the United States has occupied on the island of Cuba since 1903.

Making use of the freedom of information law, the US newspaper publishes this Sunday unpublished photographs taken by military photographers to show the operation of the arrests and interrogations that took place in the place.

The footage shows several prisoners being transported on a US Air Force cargo plane, immobilized and with their eyes and ears covered.
