C. Amnesty International
D. Supreme Court of USA

Answer 1

Hint:The US army arrested people from all around the world and sent them to a prison in Guantanamo Bay. These prisoners were not allowed to approach the court in their county.

Complete answer
Many people all around the world were secretly picked by the US forces. These people were kept in a prison in Guantanamo Bay. This Bay was an area near Cuba controlled by the American Navy. This was done without the permission of the government of prisoners' countries. Even people would know that they were prisoned only through the media. The US army would arrest them and decide to keep them only after interrogation. No one was allowed to meet the prisoners, nor the family members or the media and the UN representatives. They were even not allowed to approach any court in their own country. The only organization to know the condition of the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay was "Amnesty International". It is an international human rights organization and they reported how the prisoners were tortured against the US laws.

Therefore, option (C) is correct.

Additional information: The prisoners were linked to the attack on New York on 11 September 2001 as the American government believed that they were the enemies of the US. The prisoners were not allowed for the medication or treatment but according to the international treaties, even the prisoners of the war were permitted the treatment. Prisoners have also gone through hunger strikes protesting against these conditions.

Note: The prisoners were not released in any condition. Even though the UN Secretary-General said that the prison in Guantanamo Bay should be completely closed, the US government refused to do this.
