UN human rights investigators have called for the immediate closure of the US detention camp at Guantanamo Bay.

The UN report on conditions in the Cuba camp says the US should try all inmates or free them "without further delay".

Some aspects of the treatment of the 500-strong camp population amount to torture, the UN team alleges.

The US has rejected most of the allegations, saying that the five investigators never actually visited Guantanamo Bay.

It called the report's conclusions "largely without merit and not based clearly in the facts".

At this point I think neither the UN report nor the US refusal to accept it probably surprise anyone.
