Afghan prisoners in Guantanamo Bay who refuse
9 consecutive meals are considered to be on
hunger strike. Medical officials resort to force
feeding the prisoners, by inserting a tube up their
nose and into their stomachs. Force-feeding, as
practiced at Guantanamo Bay, is torture.
What do you think prison guards should do?
Should they continue to force feed prisoners, let
them starve to death, or something different?
What are the effects of such choices?
Turn in your
vocabulary words
and packet from
last week!
STARVING FOR THE VOTE
Women in the late 1800s went on hunger strikes after being imprisoned for wanting
to vote.
Parliament passed an act that allowed women who were sick from hunger to leave
prison to recover.
 Once they were well, the police would take them back to prison.
