Over 100 Guantanamo inmates ‘on hunger strike,’ possibly in grave condition — RT News: Lawyers for Guantanamo Bay inmates have claimed “all but a few men” are on a hunger strike over their Qurans being taken away. The condition of the strikers "appears to be rapidly deteriorating and reaching a potentially critical level," they said.
Most of 130 people housed in Camp 6 of Guantanamo Bay may be involved in the strike.
"My client and other men have reported that most of the detainees in Camp 6 are on strike, except for a small few who are elderly or sick," Pardiss Kebriaei, a New York lawyer representing Yemeni detainee Ghaleb Al-Bihanim, told AFP. Men have reported coughed up blood, lost consciousness and were forced to move to other wings of the facility for observation.
The first reports of the widespread hunger strike in Guantanamo emerged in early March.
The protest was allegedly sparked by interference with the inmates' personal belongings.
