Have you seen the video of Yasiin Bey(Mos Def) demonstrating the force feeding procedures at Guantánamo Bay?

Asked by El_Cadejo (34610points) July 14th, 2013

I just came across this video myself and wanted to share it with the collective for those who haven’t seen it. A warning, it is pretty hard to watch this. I just found myself thinking about how horrible this was and yet Bey had the ability to tell them to stop whenever he felt it was too much, I can only imagine how much worse it must be for those in Guantánamo.

According to this article the hunger striking has evidently stopped but there still seems to be some debate about the truth in that.

Should force feeding like this be allowed? What can be done to stop it?
