U.S. Ordered to Provide Video, Records of Guantánamo Force-Feed

HeadlineMay 22, 2014

A federal judge has ordered the government to hand over video footage showing the repeated removal of a Guantánamo Bay prisoner to undergo force-feeding. The ruling came in the case of Syrian national Abu Wa’el Dhiab, who last week became the first Guantánamo prisoner to win a court ruling stopping his force-feeding since a prison-wide hunger strike began more than a year ago. In addition to handing over some 34 videotapes, the military has also been ordered to provide medical records and protocols related to force-feedings. Imprisoned since 2002, Dhiab remains behind bars despite being cleared for release.
