Ministers 'duped by US' over Guantanamo inmate's torture claim

Ministers 'duped by US' over Guantanamo inmate's torture claim

The Government faces accusations that it has been duped by the US military after Foreign Office officials claimed that a UK resident held for four years in Guantanamo Bay without contact with other prisoners was not being kept in solitary confinement.

A letter sent to lawyers representing Binyam Mohamed, the last Guantanamo inmate with the automatic right to British residency, also asserts that there is no evidence to support any of his accusations of torture
.

After being held for 6 years the US has now decided to charge him and put him on trial. I feel that fairness is lacking in this case. The authorities have to be above board to judge a case, and in this case they are clearly not.
