Whether or not there should be a separate "force-feeding of prisoners" article is another matter, and, even so, I don't think such separate articles would be necessary. I removed the paragraph about Falun Gong. If, as it is claimed, force-feeding is practised to torture prisoners, rather than to feed them, the linked website source should substantiate that claim. However, if you would care to look for yourself, you'd see that every example given by the Falun Dafa Information Center involved the words "hunger strike", so it's evidently the case that force-feeding was used to "counter (self-)starvation", rather than for "other purposes". Given the source of this information, the Falun Dafa Information Center, and the fact that EVERY "victim" of force-feeding has claimed that there was a degree of sadism and torture, it's safe to say that this is little more than anti-communist propoganda. --<a href="/w/index.php?title=User:213.121.151.146&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:213.121.151.146 (page does not exist)">213.121.151.146</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Force-feeding#c-213.121.151.146-2006-03-10T07:41:00.000Z-Dpr-2005-10-29T17:12:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-213.121.151.146-2006-03-10T07:41:00.000Z-Dpr-2005-10-29T17:12:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-213.121.151.146-2006-03-10T07:41:00.000Z-Dpr-2005-10-29T17:12:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Geo_Swan-2009-01-10T19:26:00.000Z-Dpr-2005-10-29T17:12:00.000Z"></span>It seems to me the references to Gitmo are NOT NPOV.

When examined, in detail, some captives started having their weight recorded, weekly, or daily, rather than monthly or quarterly, when the hunger strike started. Some captives had their weights recorded multiple times per day -- during the hunger strike -- and those multiple weigh-ins show large fluctuations -- sometimes over a dozen pounds. The DoD started strapping the captives' into "restraint chairs" during and after the force-feeding in January. One captive suddenly started gaining three or four pounds a day. How many litres of nutrient would one have to stuff into a captive for him to gain that kind of weight? Burning one pound of fat consumes 3600 calories. 2000 or 3000 calories is the daily maintenance amount for a sedentary person. To gain three pounds a day the captives would have to be consuming over 10,000 calories a day. <a href="/wiki/User:Geo_Swan" title="User:Geo Swan">Geo Swan</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Geo_Swan" title="User talk:Geo Swan">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Force-feeding#c-Geo_Swan-2009-01-10T19:26:00.000Z-Dpr-2005-10-29T17:12:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:26, 10 January 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Geo_Swan-2009-01-10T19:26:00.000Z-Dpr-2005-10-29T17:12:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Geo_Swan-2009-01-10T19:26:00.000Z-Dpr-2005-10-29T17:12:00.000Z"></span> <ul><li><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite id="CITEREFJTF-GTMO2006" class="citation news cs1"><a href="/wiki/JTF-GTMO" class="mw-redirect" title="JTF-GTMO">JTF-GTMO</a> (2006-03-16). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://humanrights.ucdavis.edu/reports/heights-weights-and-in-processing-dates">"Heights, weights, and in-processing dates"</a>. <a href="/wiki/Department_of_Defense" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of Defense">Department of Defense</a><span class="reference-accessdate">.

I also have removed the citation needed addition as it was illogical given that the Canadian government clearly supports the force-feeding of inmates as per the aforementioned document. Questioning their policy stand with regard to the Declaration of Tokyo would be like questioning Saddam Hussein's support of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Ridiculous. Given that the Canadian government clearly supports the force-feeding of inmates it logically follows that they reject the Declaration of Tokyo. <a href="/wiki/User:Daystrom" title="User:Daystrom">Daystrom</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Daystrom" title="User talk:Daystrom">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Force-feeding#c-Daystrom-20230806222400-Canada" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:24, 6 August 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Daystrom-20230806222400-Canada"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Daystrom-20230806222400-Canada"></span> </p>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Force-feeding&oldid=1239340583">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Force-feeding&oldid=1239340583</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Help:Category" title="Help:Category">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:C-Class_Human_rights_articles" title="Category:C-Class Human rights articles">C-Class Human rights articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Mid-importance_Human_rights_articles" title="Category:Mid-importance Human rights articles">Mid-importance Human rights articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Human_rights_articles" title="Category:WikiProject Human rights articles">WikiProject Human rights articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:C-Class_Animal_rights_articles" title="Category:C-Class Animal rights articles">C-Class Animal rights articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Mid-importance_Animal_rights_articles" title="Category:Mid-importance Animal rights articles">Mid-importance Animal rights articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Animal_rights_articles" title="Category:WikiProject Animal rights articles">WikiProject Animal rights articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:C-Class_Law_enforcement_articles" title="Category:C-Class Law enforcement articles">C-Class Law enforcement articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Unknown-importance_Law_enforcement_articles" title="Category:Unknown-importance Law enforcement articles">Unknown-importance Law enforcement articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Law_Enforcement_articles" title="Category:WikiProject Law Enforcement articles">WikiProject Law Enforcement articles</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 8 August 2024, at 18:45<span class="anonymous-show"> (UTC)</span>.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_4.0_International_License" title="Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License</a>; additional terms may apply.
