Jumah al-Dossari, 33, has been a Guantanamo Bay prisoner for four years—though he hasn’t been charged with anything. He’s tried to kill himself by slitting his wrists and/or hanging himself 12 times; he accounts for a third of the suicide attempts at Guantanamo. He alleges he’s been grievously abused and mistreated, and Amnesty International has highlighted his case.

Authorities say he has opporuties to interact despite his maximum-security isolation. From the Independent (U.K.):

[Authorities] even claim he can “interact with one or more interrogators in various ways, including eating Western food such as hamburger and pizza.”

Oh, well then. That’s a different story. Maybe if they just throw in some apple pie, he’ll stop trying to hang himself.
