Scores On Hunger Strike At Guantanamo Jail -- Al Jazeera
Some 84 of the 166 prisoners at the prison camp have joined the hunger strikers, with 16 being force-fed.
More than half of the men held at the Guantanamo detention camp have joined an escalating hunger strike to protest their open-ended detention, a camp spokesperson has said.
