The infamous detention facility at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, marks its 10th anniversary on January 11. Almost 800 suspects have been held at Guantanamo over the last decade. Currently, 171 prisoners are housed there, including 12 original inmates. Many are expected to mark the anniversary with sit-ins, banners, and a refusal of meals.
