OTTAWA, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- A Canadian Foreign Ministry training manual names Guantanamo Bay as a site of possible torture and abuse, despite officials saying publicly they believe a Canadian detainee has been treated humanely, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported Thursday.

    The manual, designed for consular employees, identifies the notorious prison camp at the U. S. naval base in Cuba as one of several possible places where torture can occur.

    Several countries including the United States are also on the list.

    The manual was obtained by the lawyers of Canadian detainee Omar Khadr, who have blasted the government for not pressuring the United States for Khadr's release.

    Khadr is accused of killing an American medic in Afghanistan in2002. He was only 15 years old when he was taken into custody.

    A report released in 2006 said the teen had suffered extensive abuse at the American detainee camp, including being dangled from a door frame and used as a human mop to wipe up his urine.

    Khadr has also complained of being beaten and restrained in stress positions, as well as being relegated to solitary confinement for months on end.

    Canadian officials have said publicly that they accept assurances from their American counterparts that Khadr has not been abused.

    Analysts say the manual contradicts with the Canadian government's position. "That clashes terribly with what Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said, that Mr. Khadr, who is in Guantanamo Bay and was a child at the time he was put there, is being given an ' appropriate judicial process'. Torture is not an appropriate judicial process," said Amir Attaran, a University of Ottawa law professor.

    A spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier said Thursday the document should not be seen as representing the views of the Canadian government.

    "The training manual is not a policy document and does not reflect the views or policies of this government," said Neil Hrab.
