Scores of detainees at the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba have begun a hunger strike, human rights lawyers have said.
The prisoners, many of whom have been held for more than three years without charge, are believed to be demanding an immediate trial or release.

Lawyers for the detainees say about 200 are refusing all food. Military officials put the number at 76.

A hunger strike in July ended when the Pentagon agreed to talk to inmates.

The prisoners have now restarted that action, accusing officials of reneging on their promise to negotiate, amid allegations of mistreatment.
