Force-feeding detainees at Guantanamo Bay is terrorism

Devastating short film that demonstrates the brutal reality for countless prisoners under the Obama administration:

As Ramadan begins, more than 100 hunger-strikers in Guantánamo Bay continue their protest. More than 40 of them are being force-fed. A leaked document sets out the military instructions, or standard operating procedure, for force-feeding detainees. In this four-minute film made by Human Rights organisation Reprieve and Bafta award-winning director Asif Kapadia, US actor and rapper Mos Def, who now goes by the name Yasiin Bey, experiences the procedure.
