LONDON — A British human-rights organization claimed Monday that the United States had used military ships to secretly detain and interrogate terrorism suspects. U.S. officials denied using ships as prisons.
The group Reprieve alleged that detainees, including American-born Taliban soldier John Walker Lindh and Australian Taliban supporter David Hicks, were imprisoned on the vessels off the Somali coast and the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia.
The U.S. Navy said ships have been used to hold a small number of prisoners for short periods, but it denied that vessels were used as long-term floating prisons.
