GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba -- The military said Monday it counts 45 detainees as hunger strikers, two days after guards fired four shots (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/13/guantanamo-hunger-strike_n_3076689.html) at prisoners who the authorities say resisted being moved into single cells.
Thirteen of the 45 hunger-striking detainees are being force-fed, the military said. Detainees who are hospitalized "do not currently have any life-threatening conditions," Capt. Robert Durand, the director of public affairs for Joint Task Force Guantanamo, told reporters.
Once the Joint Task Force commander approves force-feeding, Durand said military officials notify detainee attorneys. Several reporters are now in Guantanamo and are scheduled to visit the prison this week.
