Force-feeding Guantanamo hunger strikers 'abusive'

A letter written by nine of the detainees - all of whom have been imprisoned for nine years without charge – and sent to an unnamed Guantanamo doctor on Friday said: “For those of us being force-fed against our will, the process of having a tube repeatedly forced up our noses and down our throats in order to keep us in a state of semi-starvation is extremely painful and the conditions under which it is done are abusive."

Two inmates currently being held at the camp, Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri say they were detained in Poland, where, they claim, they were also tortured, before being taken to Guantanamo.

Polish Radio's Wojciech Cegielski talked to Ramzi Kazim, US lawyer representing seven Guantanamo detainees about the conditions at the camp.
