Guantanamo force-feeds detainees

Thirteen detainees on hunger strike at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay are being force-fed through tubes in their noses, the US Navy has said. Lawyers for the prisoners said they were striking over harsh conditions at a new maximum-security prison. Rights groups called on the US to halt the "brutal" tactic, which includes strapping detainees to a chair. Media Stunt
