Comedian Frankie Boyle supports We Stand With Shaker, and says, “It’s all so Alice in Wonderland, it’s ridiculous! They first used to say he was part of ‘Al-Qaida in London’. But then a judge actually ruled that there was no 'Al-Qaida in London’. So why has he not been released? Probably because he’s been tortured or was in the same room as people who were tortured, which led to the erroneous information that led to the Iraq war.”

Frankie is a long-time supporter of Shaker. In December 2012 he donated the money he was awarded in a libel victory to Shaker’s legal costs and last July, during a prison-wide hunger strike in Guantanamo, he embarked on a hunger strike in solidarity with Shaker.
