Gitmo detainee challenges force-feeding procedures

WASHINGTON (AP) â A detainee at Guantanamo Bay is challenging force-feeding practices at the facility imposed on prisoners who go on hunger strikes.

In a court filing Tuesday, a 34-year-old Yemeni national who has been held at GuantÃ¡namo Bay since 2002 alleges that detainees have been force-fed up to a gallon at a time of nutrient and water. Another detainee reported that feeding sessions have speeded up, compressed into as little as 20 minutes.
