NEWS ROUNDUP National, Local and Higher Education News • In protest of their indefinite detention at Guantanamo Bay, 84 of the prison’s 166 detainees, most of whom are being held without charge, are now on hunger strike. Though such strikes are frequent at Guantanamo, the current protest, which began in February and has grown rapidly in recent weeks, is one of the longest and most widespread. While none of the prisoners are in life-threatening condition, 16 are being force-fed and five have been hospitalized. • U.S. federal prosecutors are preparing charges against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving Boston Marathon suspect currently unable to speak due to a bullet wound to the throat. Though incapable of verbal communication, Tsarnaev has been answering interrogation questions in writing. The 19-year-old suspect could face the death penalty if charged with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill people. After a massive manhunt, during which his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died, Dzhokhar was apprehended on Friday evening. Both brothers originate from Chechnya and had been living in the U.S. for about a decade.

A Georgia State Patrol officer pulled them over and began field sobriety tests on Toth. Witherspoon, however, protested the officer’s orders for her to remain in the vehicle and was resistant to arrest upon failing to heed his warning. The couple had been filming “The Good Lie” at such locations as Sugarloaf Mills Mall and Peachtree Baptist Church. Another unidentified passenger took a cab from the scene.
