SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico &#8212 Detainees flinging body waste at guards. Guards interrupting detainees at prayer. Interrogators withholding medicine. Hostility and tension between inmates and their keepers at the Guantánamo Bay prison are evident in transcripts obtained by The Associated Press.

These rare detainee accounts of life inside the razor wire at the remote U.S. military base in Cuba emerged during Administrative Review Board hearings aimed at deciding whether prisoners suspected of links with the Taliban or al-Qaida should continue to be held or be sent away from Guantánamo.

The Pentagon gave the AP transcripts of hearings held last year in a trailer at Guantánamo after the news agency sought the material under the Freedom of Information Act. Amid the tensions, they also show a few relaxed encounters between detainees and their guards and interrogators.

The military has said Guantánamo is relatively calm compared to last year. But a report released by the detention center last month shows mass disturbances are up sharply over 2006 and forced removal of prisoners from cells and assaults with bodily fluids are on pace to match or exceed last year’s total.

The transcripts illustrate the friction.

A Yemeni detainee, Mohammed Ali Em al-Zarnuki, warned his panel of three U.S. military officers that inmates would attempt suicide unless guards stop interrupting prayers, moving detainees during prayer time and whistling and creating other distractions.

Four detainees have committed suicide at Guantánamo – three last year and one on May 30. Other attempts at suicide have included overdosing on hoarded medicine.

“I want you to be aware of it because I don’t want you to face a big problem,” al-Zarnuki said. “The problem happened before. The detainees took medication before because of this. So if you do not put a stop to this, it is going to be worse than before.”

The hearing’s presiding officer assured the detainee he would pass the complaint on, but added: “We do not make the camp rules and we have nothing to do with the camp rules.”

Some prisoners said their enemies inside the prison have lied to gain favor with interrogators or settle old scores.

Commanders at Guantánamo had no comment Tuesday on the allegations.
