'High priority'..uh huh, good work FO.
It's nothing new, I know, but I cannot fucking believe that place is still going and that people are still being held without charge after years and years :mad::mad::mad:
The last British resident being held in Guantanamo Bay has been broadcast speaking from his prison cell for the first time.
Shaker Aamer, who has been in the military prison since 2002, spoke to US news channel CBS by shouting from his cell, calling for the world to hear the truth.
His lawyer said he was being held even though he had been cleared for release.
The Foreign Office said Mr Aamer's case "remains a high priority".
As part of a recording made by the CBS 60 Minutes programme, Mr Aamer said: "Tell the world the truth... please, we are tired. Either you leave us to die in peace - or either tell the world the truth. Open up the place. Let the world come and visit. Let the world hear what's happening.
"Please colonel, act with us like a human being, not like slaves."
He added: "You cannot walk even half a metre without being chained. Is that a human being? That's the treatment of an animal... It is very sad what is happening in this place."
