Hunger strikers at Guantanamo defy force feeding
Abdu l Rahman Shalabi and Zaid Salim Zuhair Ahmed are strapped in restraint chairs at Guantanamo Bay as tubes insert milky supplements to their stomachs. The two Saudi detainees have refused food for almost two years, part of a growing hunger strike now about two dozen, despite international outrage. The AP reveals how force feeding is conducted, the medical oversight, and the detainees’ described treatment while authorities say the goal is to keep them alive, not break the strike.
