75 Guantanamo Prisoners on Hunger Strike

AP | May 30 2006

The number of Guantanamo Bay detainees staging a hunger strike has grown from three to 75, the U.S. military said Monday.

Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand said from the isolated base in southeast Cuba that the rising number of hunger strikers was an "attention-getting" move that may be related to a melee at the detention center earlier this month.

The hunger strike began in August to protest the detainees' indefinite confinement. It had dwindled to just three earlier this year.
