Guantanamo prisoner found dead, U.S. military says
By Jane Sutton | Reuters – 1 hr 25 mins ago
 
MIAMI (Reuters) - A prisoner was found dead of undetermined causes at 
the Guantanamo Bay U.S. naval base where foreign captives have been held 
since shortly after the September 11 attacks, the U.S. military said on 
Monday.
 
The unidentified prisoner, whose name and nationality were not disclosed 
pending notification of family, died on Saturday, military officials 
said. He was the ninth captive to die at the detention camp since it 
opened in 2002.
 
The dead man was not among the small group currently facing charges in 
the war crimes tribunal at the Guantanamo base in eastern Cuba, and he 
had not been designated as eligible for prosecution, said Navy Captain 
Robert Durand, a spokesman for the detention operation.
 
About half of the Guantanamo detainees have been cleared for release, 
but it was not known if he was among that group.
 
Guards found the man "motionless and unresponsive" during a routine 
check, he said. Medics tried to revive him and took him to the base 
hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Durand said.
 
His remains will be returned home after an autopsy, and the Naval 
Criminal Investigative Service is investigating the death, he said.
 
The man died in Camp 5, a maximum security facility that holds those 
accused of breaking camp rules. He was "in disciplinary status" after 
recently assaulting a guard with a "cocktail" of bodily fluids, Durand said.
 
The prisoner had previously been a hunger striker whose weight dropped 
low enough that he was force-fed nutritional supplements, though he 
sometimes ate food while on a hunger strike, Durand said.
 
"He declared himself to be no longer a hunger striker on June 1, but 
continued to be medically monitored," Durand said. "Recently, his weight 
was recorded at 95 percent of his ideal body weight, and 14 pounds 
heavier than he was when he arrived at Guantanamo."
 
The detention camp was set up to hold non-American captives suspected of 
involvement with al Qaeda, the Taliban or other Islamist militant groups 
after the September 11, 2001, attacks. Of the 779 men held there, 167 
remain.
 
Two of the earlier deaths were from natural causes and six were 
designated as suicides, most of them by hanging.
 
As news spread of the latest death, the mood among the other prisoners 
was "sadness and quiet and reflecting," Durand said.
 
"It's been fairly subdued," he said. "There haven't been any disturbances."

il nono in 10 anni?!
 
non ho ancora letto nessun post di persio sui morti 
nelle carceri italiane che, negli stessi anni sono 
stati 915 (novecentoquindici).
 
bisogna essere un pirla ritardato per alzare lai contro 
un carcere straniero dove muore meno di un prigioniero 
l'anno mentre, in italia, ne muoiono cento volte tanti.
 
certo, il fatto che persio sia -appunto- un pirla ritardato
giustifica i suoi lai.
