het UK Guant? namo vier om worden bevrijd
Zaterdag, 8 December, 2007
? Het buitenlandse Bureau nam gevallen na beleidsverandering op ED Pilkington in New York, Alexandra Topping Vier Britse ingezetenen hielden zonder last bij het Amerikaanse detentiekamp voor veronderstelde terroristen in Guant? de namo Baai, Cuba moet worden vrijgegeven, verminderend de Britse betrokkenheid met het kamp tot enkel één medebewoner. De vier mensen allen hebben in Groot-Brittannië na wordt verleend vluchtelingsstatus of tijdelijke immigratiestatus geleefd. Zij hebben geworsteld om hun gehoorde gevallen te hebben omdat tot onlangs Groot-Brittannië weigerde om hen te vertegenwoordigen omdat zij geen Britse burgers waren. Drie van de mensen - Jamil Gr-Banna, Omar Deghayes en Abdenour Samuer - moeten worden toegestaan om aan het UK door Kerstmis terug te keren. Een vierde, Schudbeker abdur-Raheem Aamer, zal terug naar zijn geboorteland, Saudi-Arabië worden verzonden. Dat verlaat één Britse ingezetene, Binyam Mohammed al-Habashi van Ethiopië, nog in Guant? namo. Het pentagoon eist hij bijzonder gevaarlijk is en men bepaalt dat hij blijft om één van de militaire commissies onder ogen te zien die worden opgericht om gevangenen bij het kamp te vervolgen. Het nieuws van de dreigende versie van de vier mensen kwam drie maanden nadat het UK zijn vorig beleid omkeerde en besliste de mensen te vertegenwoordigen. Tot Augustus was de officiële positie van het Buitenlandse Bureau dat de gevangenen niet op vertegenwoordiging recht hadden omdat zij geen Britse ingezetenen waren. Maar David Miliband, de minister van Buitenlandse Zaken, antwoordde aan kritiek van het standpunt van de overheid en kwam overeen om hun gevallen op te nemen. Hij schreef aan zijn tegenhanger van de V.S., Condoleezza Rice, die om hun versie verzoekt. Het buitenlandse Bureau zou geen rapporten vorge nacht bevestigen dat de mensen worden bevrijd en de bovengenoemde besprekingen aan de gang zijnde waren. Een woordvoerder zei: „Wij hebben gedetailleerde besprekingen met de Amerikanen… gehouden „Wij overwogen de omstandigheden van elk geval met de V.S. en wij zijn in contact met de families en de wettelijke vertegenwoordigers van vijf. „Terwijl de besprekingen aan de gang zijnde zijn gaan wij geen verdere commentaar maken.“ De ambtenaren erkennen dat het feit Habashi in Guant blijft? namo betekent de detentie zonder last van medebewoners bij het kamp een punt van spanning tussen Londen en Washington zal blijven. Amnesty International said it would seek to establish why Shaker Aamer is to go to Saudi Arabia, Habashi would remain in detention and another former UK resident, Ahmed Belbacha, has not been mentioned in the reports. Neil Durkin, Amnesty’s UK spokesman said: “We’ve always said that Guant?namo is a travesty of justice and that detainees should either be given proper trials or released to safe countries.” Banna has been the subject of intense legal and political campaigning in recent months. His Brent East MP, Sarah Teather, in February called on the US authorities either to charge him or send him home. Teather said she hoped the men could be back before Christmas. “Jamil has been held without any charges being brought against him for five years, he was cleared for release in March this year,” she said. “The US has accepted that he is not a threat and he belongs at home with his family. “Since the government has taken up the cause it has done everything in its power to secure his release but it is a disgrace that it took them four and a half years to take up the cause.” A Jordanian, Banna was on a business trip to Gambia in November 2002 when he was picked up, handed over to the Americans and flown to Guant?namo. The freed men Jamil el-Banna Banna, 45, a father of five from London, was seized by the CIA in 2002, and flown to Guant?namo after MI5 wrongly told the US that his travelling companion was carrying bomb parts on a business trip to Gambia. MI5 had attempted to recruit him as an informer days earlier Omar Deghayes Born in Libya, Deghayes, 37, came to the UK as a child after his father was murdered. He studied law at Wolverhampton University and in Huddersfield. His family say he has condemned terrorism. He alleges he was by left blind in one eye after a US soldier poked his finger into it. Abdenour Samuer Samuer fled to the UK from Algeria and was granted asylum in 2000. He went to Afghanistan after 9/11. He says he was captured on the Pakistan border. He told US interrogators that in 2001 a man at Finsbury Park mosque gave him money to go to Afghanistan Shaker Abdur-Raheem Aamer Aamer, 38, is a Saudi national with a British wife and four British children living in Battersea, London. He was applying for British citizenship when he took his family to Kabul and was seized by troops fighting alongside US forces. He will return to his native Saudi Arabia.
