Last night, Ed Davey used a Parliamentary debate to highlight the case of a constituent of his who is being detained in Guantanamo Bay. Ed believes that as a result of his detention, his constituent may be losing his sanity. You can read the full debate here. As mentioned in the debate, Sarah Teather also has a constituent in Guantanamo.

:: VIGIL FOR British Residents in Guantanamo Bay ::
On the eve of the 5th Anniversary of the Opening of Guantánamo Bay
Wednesday 10th January, 6pm
Richmond Terrace SW1 (opposite Downing Street)
Jamil el-Banna is a British resident currently held in Guantánamo Bay without charge or trial. He has a wife in the UK and British born children, one of whom has never met her Father. Despite a recent EU report showing that the UK Government were complicit in his extraordinary rendition to the camp, they refuse to make representations on his behalf.
This week is the 5th anniversary of Guantánamo opening and we will mark the occasion with a candlelit vigil opposite Downing Street. Please wrap up warm: candles and banners will be provided.
Guantánamo Bay is an international outrage and a serious affront to human rights law. Help us send a message to the Government that their refusal to assist or represent British residents held in the camp without charge is totally unacceptable.
