Shaker Aamer has been held illegally without charge or trial at Guantanamo bay for eight years. He is a British resident and his wife and four children are citizens of the UK and reside here. He has faced horrendous and humiliating treatment and is in very ill health. He has technically been cleared for release since 2007 but is the last British Resident still in Guantanamo. Act now to force the British Government to demand the release of Shaker Aamer.
Shaker lives in solitary confinement. The conditions he is under have taken a severe toll on his mental and physical health. Letters from him have not been received since 2006 when he noted:
I am dying here every day, mentally and physically. This is happening to all of us. We have been ignored, locked up in the middle of the ocean for many yearsI have problems many problems from the filthy yellow waterI have lung problems from the chemicals they spread all over the floorI am already arthritic at 40 because I sleep on a steel bed, and they use freezing air conditioning as part of the interrogation process. I have ruined eyes from the permanent, 24-hourfluorescent lights. I have tinnitus in my ears from the perpetual noiseI have ulcers and almost permanent constipation from the food. I have been made paranoid, so I can trust nobody, not even my lawyer. I was over 250 lbs. I dropped to 130lbs in the hunger strike. I want to make it easy on everyone, I want no feeding, no forced tubes, no help, no intensive assisted feeding.

"To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body; it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body." Mohandas Gandhi

Please bring Shaker Aamer back to the U.K. it is absolutely wrong and incomprehensible that we still have British residents and citizens in Guantamno Bay.
