Mike Leigh, writer, film director and theatre director, supports We Stand With Shaker, and says, “It’s hard to believe that this gross miscarriage of justice is being perpetrated in our name. Obama has failed over Guantánamo, and woe betide poor Shaker if the Republicans win. Time is running out. David Cameron has no excuse for any more dithering on this. He must pull his finger out, and, with all the authority of the leader of Shaker’s country of residence, he must put relentless pressure on our American so-called allies to do the right thing.”
