On February 11, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a ruling in Aamer & Siddique v. Obama, a case in which three Guantanamo detainees, via habeas actions, sought “a preliminary injunction preventing the government from subjecting them to force-feeding.”  Two separate district judges had denied their requests on the ground that the Military Commissions Act had stripped them of jurisdiction to consider Guantanamo detainees’ challenges.  On appeal, the D.C. Circuit held that the detainees could properly challenge their force-feeding at the hands of jailers in a federal habeas corpus petition, but also ruled that the detainees “failed to establish their entitlement to preliminary injunctive relief.”
