Muslims are being held for years without charge, or trial. some have been imprisoned for more than 8 years without evidence against them of any crime or wrongdoing. The cases of Shaker Aamer and others like him, are heart wrenching.

So many young men are still being snatched away from their families and subjected to horriffic treatment, with Guantanamo remaining open, and Bagram being expanded by the US at a cost of more than 60 million dollars, it seems unlikely that an end to illegal dentention is in sight.

" I was in extreme pain and so weak that I could barely stand. It was freezing cold and I was shaking like a washing machine. They questioned me at gunpoint and told me that if I confessed I could go home. They had already searched me and my cell twice that day, gone through my stuff, touched my Koran, felt my body around my private parts. And now they wanted to do it again, just to provoke me, but I said no, because if you submit to everything you turn into a zombie.

I heard a guard talking into his radio, ‘ERF, ERF, ERF,’ and I knew what was coming - the Extreme Reaction Force. The five cowards, I called them - five guys running in with riot gear. They pepper-sprayed me in the face and I started vomiting; in all I must have brought up five cupfuls. They pinned me down and attacked me, poking their fingers in my eyes, and forced my head into the toilet pan and flushed. They tied me up like a beast and then they were kneeling on me, kicking and punching. Finally they dragged me out of the cell in chains, into the rec yard, and shaved my beard, my hair, my eyebrows."
