the soldiers mocked and cursed them

"When they vomited up blood, the soldiers mocked and cursed them, and taunted them with statements like ‘look what your religion has brought you’." Saudi Arabian detainee Yousef al-Shehri
During 2005 over 200 detainees participated in a hunger strike at Guantánamo to protest against conditions of detention and their long-term indefinite detention without trial. Hunger strikers were reportedly placed in isolation cells, strapped into restraint chairs, subjected to painful force feeding methods and deprived of "comfort items" such as blankets and books. Lawyers said that some hunger strikers were moved into isolation in cold rooms and strapped into restraint chairs. Guards allegedly taunted these detainees by rattling the doors of their cells, interrupting their prayers and disrupting their sleep.
