More on hunger strike in Guantanamo

Washington, June 2 - More detainees held by the American military at the
Guantanamo prison have joined a hunger strike, raising the number to 89 from
75, a military spokeswoman said on Thursday.

The military considers a detainee on strike if he refuses nine consecutive
meals.

Three of the detainees who have been on hunger strike since last August are
force fed through a tube inserted in the nose.

Defense lawyers and human rights groups have condemned the practice as cruel
and accused the medical doctors involved of violating their professional
ethics.
