'It feels like something is going into my brain': The disturbing moment rapper VOLUNTARILY subjected himself to Guantanamo Bay force-feeding procedure

Brooklyn-born actor and hip-hop artist Mos Def, now known as Yasiin Bey, underwent the standard force-feeding procedure conducted on Guantanamo Bay prisoners who attempt to go on hunger-strike.



During the procedure, which was captured on video and posted on YouTube, Bey is chained and strapped to a chair before unidentified volunteers force a feeding tube through his nostril down into his stomach, forcing him to gag and later cry.



The video, released Monday by the human rights organization Reprieve, was made to rally support for prisoners on hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay.

The process, Bey says, is ‘the standard operating procedure for force-feeding detainees at Guantanamo Bay.’



However, the pain and discomfort becomes too much for the celebrity who yells out ‘stop!’ before breaking down and crying.

'The first part of it is not that bad, but then you get this burning and it starts to be be really unbearable,' he says after regaining his composure. 'It feels like something is going into my brain.'



There are 106 inmates currently on hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay protesting their imprisonment.



Forty five of those inmates have been ordered to undergo force-feeding, according to Politico .

‘It is perfectly clear from the statements of detainees, as well as statements from the organizations just cited, that force-feeding is a painful, humiliating and degrading process,’ U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler wrote on Monday.



Bey, 39, born Dante Terrell Smith, was a major presence in late 1990s underground hip-hop scene while signed to Rawkus Records.



He has also acted in several major motion pictures, including Monster’s Ball, Be Kind Rewind and Cadillac Records.
