John Leech MP (Liberal Democrat, Manchester Withington) supports We Stand With Shaker, and says, “It’s an international outrage that Shaker Aamer remains in Guantánamo despite being cleared of any wrongdoing. The government has a duty to exert more pressure on the US authorities to release him immediately.”

John is also a member of the newly-formed Shaker Aamer Parliamentary Group, who sent a letter to the Guardian last month. Ask your MP to join the group.
