Guantanamo

Twenty-three force-fed captives

 

Abdul Rahman Shalabi, 35, a Saudi man who was already on a hunger strike before the latest protests and has reportedly been largely tube fed since 2005. He is considered the prison's longest continuous hunger strike. Shalabi has never been charged with a crime. In January 2010, a federal task force designated him as an "indefinite detainee." He was among the first captives to arrive at the Guantánamo prison, in January 2002.

Suhail Abdo Anam Shorabi, about 35, a Yemeni man who has never been charged with a crime at Guantánamo's war court, although in January 2010 a federal task force considered him a possible candidate for prosecution.

Uthman Abdul Rahim Mohammed Uthman, 32, a Yemeni man who won his habeas corpus lawsuit on Feb. 24, 2010 but lost after the U.S. government appealed to the U.S. Appeals Court for the District of Columbia Circuit, which overturned the release order on March 29, 2011. He has never been charged with a crime. In January 2010, a federal task force designated him as an "indefinite detainee" but said his status should be reviewed before Guantánamo detainees were transferred to the United States. He was among the first captives to arrive at the prison, in January 2002.

Abd al-Malik Abd al Wahab, about 43, a Yemeni man who has never been charged with a crime at Guantánamo's war court. In January 2010, a federal task force designated him as an "indefinite detainee." In March, according to his lawyer David Remes, Wahab, who last saw his daughter as an infant, vowed to fast until he got out of the prison "either dead or alive."

    List of ‘indefinite detainees’

    These are the names and nationalities of the 48 Guantánamo captives, whom an Obama administration Task Force in 2010 classified as indefinite detainees ineligible for release, transfer or prosecution. Their formal classification is “continued detention pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (2001), as informed by principles of the laws of war.” The captives’ names are different on different documents.
