Little Reaction from Human Rights Watchdogs as Gitmo Hunger Strike Continues
After 42 days on hunger strike, though acknowledged by the US military, the protest by prisoners at Guantanamo Bay has so far been largely unacknowledged by international humanitarian organizations, a report said. - In a comment to RT the United Nations rights body said it is investigating allegations of mistreatment at America's detention facility in Cuba. "While aware of some of the allegations of mistreatment of inmates said to have provoked the hunger strike, which include undue interference with the inmates' personal effects, we are still trying to confirm the details," the spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navy Pillay said.
