"Moath Hamza Ahmed al-Alwi, a Yemeni national
who has been detained at the American prison facility
at Guantánamo Bay since 2002, weighs only 98 pounds. Never charged
with a crime, al-Alwi, now 35 years old, is one of many detainees at the camp who have
gone on a prolonged hunger strike."
...
"Al-Alwi, who has described his
strike as “a form of peaceful protest against injustice,” has said
that he will not resume eating until there is some sort of legal
resolution to his case. Prison officials have responded to his hunger
strike by placing him in solitary confinement, denying him access
to prescribed medical items and subjecting him to extreme temperatures in
his cell."
