Force-feeding of Detainees at Guantanamo
Channel: Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos
Date: 2015-08-28

Force-feeding has been used on prisoners who used hunger strikes as a form of protest. A U.S. judge described force-feeding as a “painful, humiliating, and degrading process.” Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif, who described the forced feeding as “having a dagger shoved down your throat”, committed suicide in Guantanamo in 2012.

The fact that a State is confronted with terrorism should not lead to restrictions on the protection of the physical integrity of the person.
