Harry Potter has bewitched detainees (未判决囚犯) at the U.S.
prison at Guantanamo Bay, there tales of the young wizard and 【M1】______
mysteries by Agatha Christie top the list of most popular books,
according to a prison librarian.
"Harry Potter is the popular tine among some of the detainee 【M2】______
population," said the librarian, a civilian contractor identified only as
"Lorie" who works at the prison camp for foreign terrorism suspects
at the U.S. naval base in Cuba.
Lorie said the popular of the best-selling Harry Potter books, 【M3】______
which recount the adventures of a boy wizard as he triumphs the 【M4】______
powers of evil, was matched only by the prisoners' passion for
Agatha Christie.
The Guantanamo Bay prison-which has come under fierce
attack by human rights groups for its treatment and indefinite
detention of prisoners-holds about 510 suspects from 40 countries.
But even this remote prison has not escaped the world-wide
frenzy over the escapades of Harry Potter and his friends at the
Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft. The sixth book in the
series by author J.K. Rowling, who went on sale last month, is the 【M5】______
fastest-selling book of all time.
"We have Harry Potter as four languages, English, French, 【M6】______
Farsi and Russian. We have it on order in Arabic. We do not have
books Five and Six in the series this time. We have had several 【M7】______
detainees read the series," Lorie told reporters.
"One prisoner has requested the movies," she said.
When asked that other books were among the prisoners' favourites, 【M8】______
Lofie said, "We have 12 different Agatha Christie rifles in Arabic that are
very popular. Also 1001 Arabian Nights."
The United States opened the Guantanamo prison in January
2002. A total of 242 detainees have been transferred out of the prison
to other countries either to be freed or for continuous detention, 【M9】______
while approximately 510 remain at Guantanamo, according to the
Pentagon. Many have been held for more than three years and the 【M10】______
only four have been charged.
