PressTV - Guantanamo protester force fed in front of White House
An American hunger striker has been force fed through a nasal tube in front of the White House in protest against the torturous practice of force feeding at the notorious US-run Guantanamo prison.
After a two-month hunger strike condemning the continued detention of cleared prisoners at Guantanamo, 52-year-old Andres Thomas sat on a chair outside of the White House in an orange uniform on Friday as he was force fed through a plastic tube running down his nostril.
Protesting harsh conditions and indefinite detention without charge or trial, Guantanamo prisoners began a hunger strike in early February which still continues after seven months.
Images from the detention center published in June showed how prisoners were force fed by military guards, being strapped to a metal restraint chair and fed through the nose with plastic tubing.
In July, a federal judge ruled that the practice of force feeding Guantanamo hunger strikers amounted to torture but said she did not have the jurisdiction to stop the practice.
“It’s being done in my name and it’s being done in the name of all US citizens. It’s being paid for by US taxpayers and so we are all complicit in this torture and it happens in the shadows and if we do not reveal to the light of day the torture that this Obama administration is involved with on a daily basis, it’s going to continue and it has continued for all of these years,” Thomas told Press TV.
One of the central themes of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008 was to close the Guantanamo prison as he acknowledged that the detention camp was a symbol of the US government’s violation of human rights.
Nevertheless, on Thursday, the Obama administration demanded the dismissal of a legal appeal filed by four hunger-striking prisoners at Guantanamo which is aimed at banning force feeding.
