Salon.com Wire Story: "The military has said the hunger strike began on Aug. 8 with 76 detainees refusing meals. The military said the number rose to 128 before three dropped out, lowering the figure to 125.

The number differed from one given in an Aug. 31 report from the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, which claimed 210 prisoners were refusing meals.

The center said the prisoners are angry because the military allegedly reneged on promises to bring the prison into compliance with the Geneva Conventions if prisoners agreed to end a hunger strike that began in June."
