The following photos were released May 2, 2013 by the 138th Public Affairs Detachment. The photos depict Joint Task Force Guantanamo’s Behavioral Health Unit and Joint Medical Group facilities where detainees are force-fed due to an ongoing hunger strike among more than two-thirds of the detainees. The photos released by the military show soldiers trying to provide food to the detainees in Camp 5 and 6, then throwing the food away after it is refused by the detainees. The photos also show “internal nourishment preparation” and a “feeding chair” used when force-feeding detainees.
