The Spanish courts agreed in 2009 to probe charges brought by four ex-Guantanamo detainees who say they were tortured during their detention in the camp between 2002 and 2005.Does this really have a chance of getting up?

The new law says courts in Spain can only probe atrocities committed abroad if the suspects are Spanish.
But Ruz said in Tuesday’s judgement that Spain had an “obligation” under international treaties to investigate alleged atrocities even if the suspects were not Spanish. more
