FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The charity’s director Clive Stafford Smith made the comment after returning from his visit to the US to see his client Shaker Aamer, last British citizen imprisoned in the notorious American military’s Guantanamo camp in Cuba.
“I asked him (Aamer) whether he was still being held in solitary confinement in Camp V, Echo Block, where he was transferred last year?” he said.
“What was Shaker’s reply to me? I cannot tell you. It’s still a ‘state secret.’”
Raising concerns over the British government’s secret evidence plan allowing sensitive data to be offered to courts behind closed doors, the charity’s director criticized it for helping London cover up its wrongdoings.
Last month, Reprieve condemned the UK government’s attempts to undermine open justice as “criminal,” after the Commons’ Joint Committee on Human Rights announced that there is no basis for the government’s Green Paper on Justice and Security, which includes the secret justice proposals.
“If we are silly enough to give our government absolute power of censorship, you can bet it will be used to cover up its own mistakes and to bury terrible injustices like Shaker’s,” he added.
Shaker Aamer was kidnapped in 2001 in Afghanistan and accused of leading a unit of fighters in the Asian country. He was transferred to US military’s Guantanamo Bay prison facility later in 2002.
As there was evidence against Aamer, he was cleared for release under the administration of former President of the United States, George W. Bush in 2007 and also Barack Obama’s administration in 2009, but he was never set free.
A few months ago, the Saudi-born British resident’s letters published in The Independent described the deterioration of his physical and mental health, worsened by long periods in solitary confinement without having been charged with an offence.
