"Mass hanging incident"

Guantanamo Bay has largely left the news headlines, owowowwhich allows most of us to go about our days without thinking about the mass of humanity being kept in inhuman conditions, many being tortured on a regular basis, and the complete loss of hope that years of such treatment engenders. But when the recent double (triple?) suicide turns out to pale before a 23-person attempt a few years back, it's hard to pretend it's not happening. They'd already given up all hope three years ago, and there's still no sign that there's any chance that any of them will ever see the outside again. What on earth are we doing?
