Gitmo inmate hunger strike protests indefinite 'torture' limbo (VIDEO)







More than a hundred prisoners at the Guantanamo camp have been on a hunger strike for five weeks now, in a desperate attempt to draw attention to their dismal plight.

The strike was launched in protest against the confiscation of personal letters, and the rough handling of their Korans. Their lawyers and human rights activists are sounding the alert over their critical condition, but US military officials claim nobody's in danger.

Eric Montalvo, one of lawyers representing Gitmo prisoners, claims running the facility and spending millions in doing so, is just absurd, with those cleared of all charges by the Obama administration still held there for no reason.
