President Obama has failed to provide any meaningful assistance to the hunger-striking detainees being held without charge at Guantanamo Bay, says Reprieve.

Margot Kässmann, one of Germany's most prominent Protestants, says hunger strike shows Guantanamo threat to democracy and justice.

Some one hundred protesters against United States drone strikes and 'enhanced interrogations' have blocked the entrance to the CIA headquarters.

President Barack Obama must revisit the promise he made in 2009 to close the Guantanamo detention facility, Amnesty International has said.
