Medan, Indonesia – Conditions at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp have been described to Al Jazeera as “not great, but not horrific” by the lawyer of Indonesian detainee Encep Nurjaman, alias Hambali, who has been held in the facility operated by the United States for 17 years.

Hambali is due back in court on Monday on charges of masterminding a series of deadly attacks in Indonesia that killed American citizens and targeted US interests, including the 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 200 people, and the JW Marriott hotel attack in 2003 in Jakarta, in which 11 people died.
