Guantanamo: hunger strikers in critical state
Today, President Obama will speak about American security issues, including the critical question of Guantánamo Bay prison camp, where over 100 detainees are on hunger strike - some of them for over three months. Former British resident Shaker Aamer is among them. Having been detained without trial indefinitely, with no sign of release despite being approved for transfer out of the camp years ago, Shaker told his family he believes he will die in the camp.
