Ron DeSantis watched me being tortured, former Guantanamo prisoner says
- last year
A former Guantanamo Bay inmate has told The Independent that Ron DeSantis witnessed him being tortured during the time he was stationed at the prison camp.
Mansoor Adayfi is a Yemeni citizen who was held for 14 years on the US Naval base in Cuba.
Mr Adayfi said that camp staff brutally force-fed him during a 2006 hunger strike and that Mr DeSantis witnessed at least one of the sessions.
Force-feeding hunger strikers at Guantanamo Bay amounted to torture, according to the United Nations.
Mr DeSantis has not responded to several requests from The Independent for comment.
