Chuck DarwinFormer Guantanamo detainee says Ron DeSantis watched him being tortured
A Yemeni citizen who was held for 14 years at the #Guantanamo #Bay prison camp in Cuba has told The Independent that Florida Gov. #Ron #DeSantis witnessed him being #tortured while he was stationed there.
#Mansoor #Adayfi said he was being #force-#fed as he and other prisoners were on a hunger strike in 2006 and claimed that DeSantis was present for at least one of the force-feeding sessions.
Military records show DeSantis was stationed on the base as a lawyer between March 2006 and January 2007. Adayfi's claims have not been independently verified.
As The Independent points out, the #United #Nations has deemed the force-feeding of hunger-striking prisoners as torture -- a distinction that the U.S. government disagrees with.
