Plus que les détenus une douzaine au compartiment de Guantanamo, Cuba, sont sur la grève de faim pour protester leur traitement et sont gavés, un rapport de médias sont dits le lundi citant les fonctionnaires et les avocats militaires pour des détenus.
Les avocats pour plusieurs butées de faim ont dit aux temps de New York qu'actions de leurs clients des' ont été conduites par des conditions dures dans un nouveau complexe de sécurité auquel environ 160 prisonniers ont été déplacés depuis décembre.
Il y a 13 détenus maintenant sur la grève de faim. Ils sont surveillés étroitement. Their persistence underscores how the struggle between detainees and guards at Guantanamo has continued even as the military has tightened its control, the Times said.
“We don’t have any rights here, even after your Supreme Court said we had rights,” one hunger striker, Majid al-Joudi, told a military physician, the report said quoting medical records released recently. “If the policy does not change, you will see a big increase in fasting.”
A military spokesman at Guantanamo, Cmdr. Robert Durand of the Navy, the Times said, played down the significance of the current hunger strike, describing the prisoners’ complaints as “propaganda.”
But the paper says newly released Pentagon documents show that during earlier hunger strikes, before the use of restraint chairs, some detainees suffered sharp weight losses.
By comparison, the current hunger strike in which 12 of the 13 were being force-fed as of Friday seems almost symbolic. For instance, the medical records for Joudi, a 36-year-old Saudi, show that when he was hospitalised on February 10, he had been fasting for 31 days and had lost more than 15 per cent of his body weight.
