Guantánamo Prisoner: "All of the Detainees Are Suffering Deeply" 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In an opinion article published in The New York Times, Samir Naji al
Hasan Moqbel, a hunger-striking prisoner held at Guantánamo for 11
years without charge, writes: "The situation is desperate now. All of
the detainees here are suffering deeply. And there is no end in sight to
our imprisonment. Denying ourselves food and risking death every day is
the choice we have made. I just hope that because of the pain we are
suffering, the eyes of the world will once again look to Guantánamo
before it is too late."
