Guantanamo detainees were force-fed through nasal tubes while strapped to chairs — a practice the UN classified as torture — documented evidence
🟢 CONFIRMED

At Guantanamo Bay, hunger-striking detainees were strapped into restraint chairs with immobilized limbs and heads while tubes were forced up their nostrils into their stomachs for liquid feeding — a process lasting over two hours per session. Five UN human rights experts found this constituted torture under the Convention Against Torture. The World Medical Association declared the practice 'never ethically acceptable.' Detainees were held as 'enemy combatants' with no Geneva Convention protections and no criminal charges — some for over 20 years. Senate torture reports revealed detainees were also subjected to 'rectal feeding' and 'rectal rehydration.'
