UK Government Condemns Over Gitmo

So do we, but no one listens.

BuCheney policies are driving detainees mad.

There not doing much for our sanity either.

Would that our own elected officials would speak so strongly…

MPs will today debate the plight of nine British residents believed to be among about 400 terror suspects still held at Guantánamo Bay as the US detention camp nears its fifth anniversary.

Ed Davey, Liberal Democrat MP for Kingston and Surbiton, whose constituent Bisher al-Rawi is one of the nine, has secured an adjournment debate in the Commons to highlight their treatment.
[..]Mr al-Rawi's lawyers yesterday warned that the 36-year-old was on the brink of losing his sanity after more than four years detention without trial.

But his supporters' hopes were raised by reports suggesting that British officials had said he could be freed within four months.

All British citizens were released from Guantánamo by September 2004, but the government insists it has no power to intervene on behalf of foreign nationals, even if they were long-term residents of the UK.

This week will see a series of demonstrations to mark the fifth anniversary of the arrival of the first detainees at Guantánamo on January 11 2002.
