Samir Naji al Hasan Moqbel, a prisoner at Guantánamo Bay since 2002, recently spoke about his experience at the facility through an Arabic interpreter.

Regarding his experience in the growing hunger strike, he said:

“I will never forget the first time they passed the feeding tube up my nose. I can’t describe how painful it is to be force-fed this way. As it was thrust in, it made me feel like throwing up.
