During Ramadan more than 100 detainees at Guantanamo Bay protest by going on hunger strikes. More than 40 of them are force-fed using military instructions, or standard operating procedure obtained through leaked documents.
Rapper/actor Yasiin Bey a.k.a. Mos Def agreed to let himself experience the procedure in this four-minute film made by Human Rights organization Reprieve and Bafta award-winning director Asif Kapadia.
The procedure looks very painful. Mos screams for it to be stopped before it's finished and begins to cry. Watch the film below.
