As Ramadan begins, more than 100 hunger-strikers in Guantánamo Bay continue their protest. More than 40 of them are being force-fed. A leaked document sets out the military instructions for force-feeding detainees. In this four-minute film made by Human Rights organisation Reprieve and award-winning director Asif Kapadia, US actor /rapper Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def), experiences the procedure. I have been a fan of Yasiin Bey/Mos Def since the 90s. He is one of a handful of artists whose conscience remains unconquered by the trappings of fame & fortune...His bold demonstration drives home a point that George Orwell observed many years ago:
“The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”
Go ahead and marinate on that for a minute & you will see the world as it is.....
