More than 100 prisoners on hunger strike in Guantanamo

In the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba hunger strike carried out 102 of 166 prisoners. This was announced on Thursday, Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jeff Poole.

30 prisoners are being force-fed with a nutrient solution which is being forcefully injected through a tube which runs through the nose into the stomach, with 3 people in the prison hospital.

U.S. President Barack Obama had promised to close the illegal facility during his election campaign but has since refused to do so.
