Watch the full interview with Kristine Huskey on Democracy Now! at http://owl.li/iS0Ip. More than 100 detainees held in the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay are reportedly entering their fifth week of a hunger strike sparked by deteriorating conditions. In a letter to his attorney, one detainee wrote: “We are in danger … they want to return us to the darkest days under [George W.] Bush.” The news came as the plight of Guantánamo prisoners was reviewed at a hearing before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Kristine Huskey, director of the Anti-Torture Program for Physicians for Human Rights and one of the first attorneys to represent Guantánamo detainees, shares with Democracy Now! her testimony on the conditions for Guantánamo detainees.
