UK Guantanamo man 'to be freed

A British resident is to be released from Guantanamo Bay, the Foreign Office has announced.
Bisher al-Rawi, an Iraqi national, has been held at the US detention camp in Cuba for almost five years on suspicion of links to terrorism.

In a statement, Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said it had been agreed with the US authorities that he would be returned to the UK shortly.

The move followed extensive discussions over security implications, she said.

"The UK will continue to take the necessary measures to maintain national and international security," Mrs Beckett added.

She said discussions with Americans had gone on for one year.

'Relieved'

Mr al-Rawi, a businessman from New Malden in south-west London, was arrested along with his Jordanian business partner, Jamil el-Banna, on a business trip to Gambia in 2002 on suspicion of links to terrorism.

Kingston and Surbiton MP Edward Davey, who has been campaigning on behalf of his constituent, welcomed the news.

"I am relieved that after nearly five years in prison without charge or trial, my constituent is now being released from Guantanamo Bay," he said.

Mr Davey said that everything he had learned from Mr al-Rawi's family, lawyers and government officials showed he was not and never had been a "threat to national or international security".

Guantanamo scenes recreated at protest
By Alex Kleiderman BBC News website

Protesters dressed as guards gave 'orders' at the eventMore than 300 protesters gathered outside the US embassy in Grosvenor Square, central London to mark the fifth anniversary of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

Dressed in orange jumpsuits, masks and goggles, the demonstrators recreated scenes from some of the first news coverage to emerge from Guantanamo in 2002.

The protest calling for the camp's immediate closure was one of a series organised by the human rights group Amnesty International in cities around the world.

The Bush administration contends Guantanamo fulfils a role in its "war on terror" and conditions have improved.

But Amnesty International's director Kate Allen, said Guantanamo has set an "appalling example" throughout its existence.

"We are here to show our abhorrence at this icon of lawlessness," she said.
