The U.S. military has expanded the force-feeding of hunger-striking Guantánamo Bay detainees. At least 16 prisoners are now being force-fed, up from 11 last week. Many human rights and medical groups consider force-feeding a form of torture. The U.S. government says allowing them to starve would be inhumane. The military has also now acknowledged the hunger strike has grown to 84 of Guantánamo’s detainees, though defense attorneys say the number is far higher.
