Yasiin Bey (better known as U.S rapper Mos Def) has starred in a new campaign video for the Human Rights organisation Reprieve, in which he undergoes a common torture procedure practised in Guantanamo Bay.
The video, which could be deemed highly distressing by some, sees Bey force-fed against his will through tubes to demonstrate what those 44 prisoners on hunger strike have to experience currently in the controversial U.S detainment camp.
You can watch the video, directed by Bafta winner Asif Kapadia, below or over at the Guardian website.
