New York, November 20 (RHC)-- A leading U.S. nursing group has come out in support of a Navy medical officer at Guantánamo Bay who this year became the first known prison official to refuse to force-feed hunger-striking detainees.

The unidentified male nurse now faces potential disciplinary charges that could ultimately lead to a discharge and loss of benefits.

In a letter addressed to Navy officials, the American Nurses Association said: "The military setting does not change the nurse’s ethical commitments or standards."
