A powerful new documentary on the United States' detention facility at Guantanamo Bay has been shown to MPs at the House of Commons.

The British government stands accused of an attempt to manipulate the draft judgment in a landmark legal case concerning secrecy in the complicity of the UK and the US in the torture of Binyam Mohamed at Guantánamo Bay.

Amnesty International has called on Northern Ireland to help the United States in their stated aim of closing Guantanámo Bay by accepting prisoners who have been cleared for release. This would be following the lead of the Republic of Ireland, where the Taoiseach has told CNN in the United States that Ireland would take, 'a proportionate amount, a small number' of freed prisoners.

Amnesty International wants the UK to break its silence over 'humanitarian protection' to Guantánamo prisoners to help new US President Barack Obama' close the prison camp as soon as possible.
