The Sunday Times says hunger strikers in Gitmo may be close to death.
Reprieve claims Camp Echo, which is comprised of isolation cells, has been turned into a “force feeding institution” away from other prisoners and its gravel path paved with concrete so the hunger strikers can be moved around in wheelchairs.
The military said last week the number of hunger strikers had declined to 22 after a peak at Christmas and that 17 were being fed by “tube”...
The prisoners being force fed have a permanent tube in the nose, which descends to the stomach and is attached to another tube for feeding. If they do not rip it out, the US military say they are consenting to be fed even if the tube was inserted under duress.
