13 people are on a hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay, according to the New York Times, partially as a result of the conditions at a new center there. They are all being force-fed.
“We don’t have any rights here, even after your Supreme Court said we had rights,” Majid al-Joudi, a hunger striker, told a military physician, “If the policy does not change, you will see a big increase in fasting.”
