Number of protesters has doubled in the past week, U.S. official says. SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The number of detainees on hunger strike at the U.S. military detention facility in Guantanamo Bay more than doubled in the last week to 84, an official said Thursday.

Forty-six detainees joined 38 already on strike on Dec. 25, said Guantanamo spokesman Lt. Col. Jeremy Martin, who added that the number of fasting detainees “routinely fluctuates.”

“On the anniversary of Sept. 11, the number of strikers spiked to 131,” Martin said. “They steadily decreased over the weeks and months until Dec. 25, and then they spiked again.”
