Mos Def Force Fed a la Guantánamo Convict Style
So this is something that's really trending in the news at the moment:
Basically, Mos Def is a famous rapper (for those unaware) who's experienced the procedure of being force fed in an attempt to highlight what the American government is doing.
From the video description:
As Ramadan begins, more than 100 hunger-strikers in Guantánamo Bay continue their protest. More than 40 of them are being force-fed. A leaked document sets out the military instructions, or standard operating procedure, for force-feeding detainees. In this four-minute film made by Human Rights organisation Reprieve and Bafta award-winning director Asif Kapadia, US actor and rapper Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def), experiences the procedure.
So, opinions anyone? I personally think this is an abhorrent way to treat another human, whatever the crime they are guilty of. America is supposed to be a beacon of democracy or some shit, so why are they doing this to people?
