Hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay grows

Nearly a quarter of those held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba are on hunger strike to protest against indefinite detention, with 18 being force-fed.

The protest began on August 8 and 128 prisoners have joined, a military spokesman said, adding they have demanded to be tried or released.

The prison holds about 505 prisoners and some have been held without charge or trial since 2002.
