Lawyers for a Guantanamo Bay prisoner say their client has accused military guards of threatening his life. The prisoner, Ahmed Zuhair, has been jailed since 2002 without charge. He is entering the fourth year of a hunger strike that began in August 2005, the longest to date of any Guantanamo prisoner. Zuhair has been force-fed to keep him alive. In a letter released by his attorneys, Zuhair says a US military guard “told me that he will kill me and chop my body into pieces.” Zuhair is said to have told his lawyers not to contact him anymore, because he is afraid of the threats. In a filing to US federal court, Zuhair’s attorney, Ramzi Kassem, said, “It is a sad day when judges need to remind jailers not to threaten their detainees with death and mutilation.”
