Lawyers for four hunger-striking Guantanamo prisoners filed a motion Sunday in federal court in Washington, DC, asking a judge to intervene and stop prison officials from force-feeding the men and administering medications associated with the procedure without their consent.

The prisoners, Shaker Aamer, the last British resident detained at Guantanamo, Ahmed Belbacha and Nabil Hadjarab, Algerians and Abu Wa’el Dhaib, a Syrian, all of whom have been cleared for release, are seeking an expedited hearing to have their complaint heard because the Muslim holiday Ramadan, which will require the men to fast, begins on July 8. Of the four, Aamer is not currently being force-fed.

“During Ramadan, observant Muslims worldwide fast from sunup to sundown. Petitioners are observant Muslims. According to the Geneva Conventions, petitioners must be afforded ‘complete latitude in the exercise of their religious duties,’” states the complaint filed in US District Court for the District of Columbia.

Lt. Col. Samuel House, a Guantanamo spokesman, however, told me last week that nurses will not force-feed 44 of the 106 hunger striking prisoners during the fasting hours of Ramadan.

“Our troops will be modifying the hours of meal delivery in accordance with the fasting hours,” House said. “Detainees will be provided with mid-night snack (additional for Ramadan), and troops are taking into consideration the Taraweeh (6th) prayer, also during Ramadan. Following Ramadan, detainees will also participate in morning Eid prayer and feast meals will be offered on Aug 8 and 9.”’’

In a follow-up question emailed to House requesting clarification as to whether the rescheduling of meals applies to prisoners who are being force-fed, he said, “Yes, all 166 detainees” currently detained at Guantanamo.
