The article I choose is about the last British resident held in Guantánamo Bay, who faces at least another year of captivity because the Obama administration will not risk releasing Shaker Aamer before November. According to The Guardian, this charity worker is now held for a decade because of wrangling in a United States presidential election year.
As the 10th anniversary of the opening of the detention camp in Cuba, the British government is searching for options to bring Aamer home before he complete his 10th year in the island this February 14th. The wife of the prisioner, Zin, last saw her husband when she was pregnant of their fourth child, Faris. Some people that had meet this family said that they are needing the presence of the man of the house, because they’re been hurting for the last 10 years.
The campaigners of Aamer are trying to attract the attention over this forgotten case. his lawyer said: "Britain has the best record of any country with former Guantánamo prisoners, with nobody released committing any offence, and Shaker Aamer has never committed a crime of any kind. Why does Britain pretend it has a special relationship if a British resident is still in this shameful position?" He said Aamer had suffered "unfathomable abuse".
