A Military Police soldier punched a detainee in the mouth at Guantanamo hospital to stop the detainee from spitting at the MPs. The incident was reported in sworn statements by the soldiers present as follows: Detainee, Mash Alawad Alhabiri, was taken to the Guantanamo hospital for an unknown treatment. While there he complained of his wrist restraints being too tight. As one MP attempted to loosen the restraint, the detainee spit at the MPs and began to physically exert himself in an effort to assault the MPs. One of the MPs in the room attempted to subdue the detainee with a punch. The detainee was subdued. He received a bloody lip, but the injury was minor, and did not require stiches.
