Abstract

Abstract:This article explores how “involuntary enteral feeding” at the Joint Task Force – Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) allows for the United States to thwart the hunger striking protests of detainees resisting grave mistreatment and unlawful incarceration. Involuntary enteral feeding, also referred to as force-feeding in this article, is presented in the JTF-GTMO’s standard operating procedure as a necessary medical intervention used to rescue the frail hunger striker, but in fact uses excessive violence and causes further injury to the ailing detainee. This purportedly lifesaving protocol enables the US to interrupt hunger strikers’ protests and ironically underscores the very conditions inspiring detainee striking efforts.
强制喂食与“Maim的权利”:关塔那摩湾的饥饿罢工
摘要:本文探讨了关塔那摩联合特遣部队(JTF-GTMO)的“非自愿肠内喂养”如何让美国挫败被拘留者抵制严重虐待和非法监禁的绝食抗议。JTF-GTMO的标准操作程序中提出了非自愿肠内喂养,在本文中也称为强迫喂养,作为一种必要的医疗干预措施,用于救助虚弱的绝食者,但实际上使用了过度的暴力,并对患病的被拘留者造成了进一步的伤害。这项据称是拯救生命的协议使美国能够中断绝食抗议活动,具有讽刺意味的是,它强调了激发被拘留者罢工努力的条件。
