GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba<\/p>\n

One of America\u2019s leading nursing organizations is trying to save the U.S. Navy career of an officer, a nurse like them, who refused to force-feed hunger strikers this summer.<\/p>\n

In a private letter, the American Nurses Association<\/a> wrote Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel last month arguing that the nurse should not be punished for making an independent ethical decision. The Physicians for Human Rights set up a conference call for Wednesday with the Navy nurse\u2019s attorney and the advocacy group\u2019s president to disclose the letter, which has been obtained by the Miami Herald.<\/p>\n

It says: \u201cThese actions are resulting from the nurse\u2019s expressing an ethical objection to participating in the force-feeding of detainees who are engaging in a form of protest at Guant\u00e1namo Bay Detention Camp.\u201d The Pentagon has not responded.<\/p>\n

The Miami Herald disclosed<\/a> the crisis of conscience over the summer after a Syrian hunger striker heard the lieutenant declare he could no longer force-feed, told his lawyer about it, and the prison confirmed it happened.<\/p>\n

Commanders cut short the deployment of the male nurse \u2014 who has never been publicly identified \u2014 and returned him to his base in New England. His boss ordered that a Board of Inquiry be formed to consider whether to discharge him from military service. . . [Full Text<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
