User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/not ready yet/Guantanamo captives diet and weight gain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In 2003 Slate magazine reported on the Guantanamo captives diet and weight gain.[1]

In 2006.[2][3]

More recently there have been reports that some captives' weights have ballooned. Carol Rosenberg, writing in the Miami Herald, reported that Tariq Mahmoud Ahmed Al Sawah's weight had ballooned to over 400 pounds. Official records of his weighs-in state that he experienced rapid gains and losses of hundreds of pounds.
