US-ATTACKS-GUANTANAMO-RELIGION-FEEDING

The end of Ramadan is traditionally regarded as an unofficial truce at Guantanamo, where some inmates have been held for around a decade without trial. However officials expect the end of Ramadan and the festival of Eid al-Fitr will be the cue for trouble at Guantanamo, which has witnessed an unprecedented six-month hunger strike this year. Some inmates at Guantanamo have taken advantage of a tailored menu to observe the Eid holiday.This weekend inmates were offered halal chicken, halal beef, lamb, dates, honey, says kitchen manager Sam Scott. Some 38 other hunger-striking inmates, however, will continue to be force-fed by tubes, a practice which has been widely condemned by rights groups. The number of prisoners on hunger-strike has fallen, possibly as a result of Ramadan, when authorities traditionally offer to wipe clean the slates of inmates facing disciplinary proceedings.
