Start chapter 5: Part IV; Maltha declaration:The "global war on terrorism"The so-called "global war on terrorism" has led to many arrests and detention by the US forces and their allies, and the confinement of prisoners in many places, amongst which the Naval Base in Guantánamo Bay. It is not the object here to discuss the reasons for their detention, nor for their being held and interrogated. The issue here is the Hunger Strikes by a certain number of prisoners that have occurred at Guantánamo Bay, which are on-going in 2008, and which have been documented at length by many external sources in the Media and on Internet[11].A number of detainees went on hunger strike after 2003. For reasons that are not the object of this discussion, the US authorities decided to force-feed these detainees. The use of a "restraint chair" was implemented after some time, holding the prisoners immobile for two periods of around two hours a day. The reason for the two-hour-period is for the nourishment in the naso-gastric tube to not only have time for the nutrients to descend into the stomach, but also (the second hour) for the nutrients to have time to advance into the duodenum. The detainee is thus held restrained during the second hour so as to avoid him using the proximal end of the naso gastric tube to suck out the contents of the stomach and spit them out, which he could do were he no longer restrained. The need for such restraint confirms, if it were necessary, that the feeding is done under coercion.0Fig. 6 : The Emergency Restraint Chair portrayed here is mentioned in several articles by independent writers on the issue of hunger strikes in Guantánamo[12] Force-feeding is not specific to Guantánamo. The reason it is mentioned in this context is because there has been ample public documentation on the issue, which has not been necessarily the case in other contexts.
