"Bagram
Prison, Afghanistan"
Vallen 2009. Oil on linen.
17 1/2 x 24 inches
Given
the escalating conflict in Afghanistan - America's
longest running war, I painted this glimpse of the
notorious U.S. military prison at Bagram Airbase
in Afghanistan.
The
prison holds more than 600 detainees designated
as "unlawful enemy combatants" by the U.S. military;
individuals that in some cases have been held for
years without charge, legal representation, or due-process
rights.
