Friday 17 May marks the 100th day of the current hunger strike at Guantánamo Bay. More than 130 of the 166 prisoners are involved. Several dozen are being force fed and more than 10 are close to death. While the prison officials have allowed the situation to continue for so long, there have been no attempts to remedy the problem or address the prisoners’ demands.
To mark this date, groups and individuals around the world will be taking part in a weekend of action, fasting and protest around the world.
