Hunger strike

Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are several weeks into a hunger strike protesting against abuse and imprisonment without trial, some are being force fed.
They've been on hunger strike for five weeks: their health now so precarious some are being force fed - others are on medical treatment.
More than 200 detainees at Guantanamo Bay are said to be taking the drastic action in protest over their conditions - a figure strongly denied by the US authorities at the base.
Monitors from the International Red Cross are due to visit the detention centre next week to check on their condition.
But a US military spokesman insisted inmates would NOT be allowed to die. Julian Rush reports.

This is a fairly old story. If they get to the point where not eating will kill them, they are force fed through IV.

That hunger strike is over 2 years ago and has long ended. I do not know what the outcome was. At ther present time there is another hunger strike going on at Gitmo. This time it involves 3 people. The Canadian government and the Canadian people are taking an interest in it.

I read a bit further. The hunger strike mentioned by the original poster ended after 79 days in 2005. This current one the 3 Detainees are no longer at Gitmo in Cuba, but have been transfered to Canada and that is where their hunger strike is taking place.
