Yasiin Bey Demonstrates Guantanamo Bay Force Feeding Procedure (WARNING: NSFW)

Yasiin Bey,  formerly known as Mos Def, teamed up with Reprieve, a human rights group, to raise awareness for the force-feeding of Guantanamo Bay prisoners who have been participating in a hunger strike since February.

The video is pretty gross, definitely not something to watch while snacking. The ones peforming the operation start by strapping the Brooklyn spitter to a chair and shoving a straw up his nose. The process was so painful that Bey begged them to stop halfway through. More power to him, though; he was willing to fight through at least part of just to bring the issue to light.
