"This can be called the first massacre

of the 21st century;

it is being perpetrated

by the Bush administration

 against 200 Muslims, mostly Arabs,

 who have been hunger-striking

 for the past three weeks.

 This premeditated crime is taking place

 before the eyes of the [entire] world,

but not a single conscience

has awakened to demand

that the slaughter be halted

and that these prisoners be rescued

from death.. . ."
