Does the Tánaiste share the UNHRC's opinion? The UN human rights office has condemned the forced feeding of the hunger strikers. The World Medical Association has stated that forceful feeding is a form of inhuman treatment and is never ethically acceptable. Will the Government use all avenues to try to bring the hunger strike to an end before people lose their lives? What is happening is horrific. We need to use whatever resources we can to bring about a successful conclusion and resolve the situation through the closure of the interrogation camps.
