The question centered on a claim in the London Independent from a former detainee who alleged DeSantis observed in at least one instance “brutal force-feeding methods” employed during a hunger strike in 2006.
Mansoor Adayfi describes it as one of the worst stretches
of his 14-year imprisonment at Guantanamo Bay. In 2006, he was in the
midst of a hunger strike with a number of his fellow detainees in
protest over the conditions inside the notorious prison. A new team had
been brought in to break the strike with a more aggressive form of
force-feeding. One day, he recounts with emotion in his voice, he was
strapped to a chair in the yard by his head, hands, waist and feet, and a
feeding tube was forced into his nose. He was bleeding and vomiting and
screaming while an assortment of uniformed military personnel watched
from the side. Read more and see video here.
