Summary
Description Restraint chair used for enteral feeding -b.jpg |
English:
Guantanamo Restraint_chair_used_for_enteral_feeding. Guantanamo captives were subjected to involuntary force-feeding when they had skipped nine consecutive meals.
In January 2006 the camp's medical staff were authorized to strap captives into the restraint chair, for their force-feeding, and a period long enough afterwards to prevent the captives defeating their force-feeding by inducing vomiting. Note the plastic bag protecting the seat cushion. Guantanamo captives report they were routinely immobilized so long they could no longer control their bladder and bowels and soiled themselves. |

Note the plastic bag over the seat bottom. Captives reported that they were restrained, after their force-feeding, and were not allowed to use the bathroom, in an effort to curb hunger-strikers using bathroom breaks for an opportunity to induce vomiting of their nutrient. As a consequence of this policy they reported that they routinely were unable to control their bowels and bladders, and were forced to soil themselves.
