Guantanamo in the news
Guantanamo detainees refuse food
So, it's okay for us to imprison the people and give them substandard water. It didn't mention the food. I know the rightwingers like to make comments that these people are being treated well, so why are they complaining. Since the prisoners' first choice, of where they would rather be, would not be in Guatanamo, a n d they are being held against their will, isn't that enough to be upset about? Winning minds and friends....
More than 500 inmates are currently being held at Guantanamo. Only four have been charged...I can't imagine why these prisoners would be unhappy! *Snark*
...protests in the prison facilities were already under way by late June.
...The lawyer said that they had been prompted by detainees' anger over the quality of their drinking water.
He said the protests had then expanded in scope and detainees had begun citing their indefinite detention and inhumane conditions as reasons for the protest.
