"Realise that this is only the beginning of the wave, so if it did not reach you it will reach your children, if the new Prime Minister is going to be like Tony Blair"
(Faraj Hassan, former Long Lartin detainee, facing deportation to Libya)

Interviews with Faraj Hassan

Interview with Faraj Hassan Al-Saad
Cageprisoners exclusive interview with former Long Lartin detainee, Faraj Hassan Faraj, aka Detainee AS. Faraj was first arrested in 2002 and held in a number of British prisons, including Brixton and Belmarsh, before being imprisoned in the notorious HMP Long Lartin. He was amongst 17 Muslim prisoners there, fighting deportation to their home countries where it is highly likely they would face torture or ill-treatment. Faraj was released earlier this year and finally reunited with his wife and young daughter, Shaima.

411-0: Opposition to Bush’s Guantلnamo Policy Grows
by Andy Worthington
As the time steadily approaches when the US Supreme Court will consider whether, after over three years of stalling and obfuscation on the part of the administration, the detainees at Guantلnamo will be allowed “full acces! s to the US court system” and the right to challenge the basis of their detention in federal courts, the Associated Press reports that 411 senior officials from the United States and Europe – 25 retired US diplomats, two retired rear admirals, a retired Marine general, and 383 current or former members of the European and British parliaments – made their support for the detainees’ case clear to the Supreme Court on Friday

The Testimony of Guantلnamo Detainee Omar Deghayes: Includes Allegations of Previously Unreported Murders in Bagram
by Andy Worthington
Such is the turnover of stories in the news that genuinely shocking claims – such as those made by Guantلnamo detainee Omar Deghayes in a dossier released by his family two weeks ago – often become tomorrow’s fish and chip paper without anyone having really paid attention.
