An unknown number of detainees at the US prison camp in Guantánamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba, have reportedly been on hunger strike since around 7 July, in protest at the conditions in the camp, which amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, and the fact that they cannot challenge their detention through the courts. Amnesty International considers the detention of all the inmates at Guantánamo Bay to be unlawful and arbitrary.
