Ahmed Rabbani and Khalid Qassim.
\nHave been in Guantanamo for 15 years
\nNeither man has been charged
\nThere is no evidence either man has committed a crime
\nThey have been on hunger strike since 2013
\nThe only way they have to protest their innocence
\nAnd affirm their humanity
\nUntil three weeks ago they were strapped into restraint chairs
\nTwice a day and force-fed supplements through their noses
\nSince September 20th the supplements have been withheld
\nThey are being left to die
\nAhmed weighs 95lbs
\n–
\nReprieve is trying to save their lives
\nAlongside my comrades at Reprieve
\nI am fasting for 24hrs, 15th October 2017
\nTomorrow I shall eat
\nI am ashamed.
\nRestiamo Umani.<\/p>\n
