A Sudanese journalist jailed for more than five years at Guantánamo Bay is reportedly close to taking his own life. Sami al-Hajj is 250 days into a hunger strike protesting his imprisonment without charge or trial. Doctors who’ve examined him say it appears he’s given up his fight to live. Al-Hajj was working as a cameraman for the Arabic TV network Al Jazeera when he was detained in a Pakistani town on the border with Afghanistan in December 2001. He was transferred to U.S. custody and flown to Bagram Air Base. Six months later, he was flown to Guantánamo Bay. He was been imprisoned there without charge ever since.
