Peter Tatchell, the director of the human rights organisation, the Peter Tatchell Foundation, supports We Stand With Shaker, and says, “Shaker Aamer is a British resident and father of four children who has been held by the US government without charge or trial in Guantánamo Bay prison for 13 years. During his detention, he has been tortured – almost certainly with the knowledge of the British security services and possibly with the collusion of the UK government. His torture and indefinite imprisonment without trial is a violation of international human rights law. Shaker has been cleared for release twice by the US government – in 2007 and again in 2009. Yet he still remains behind bars. Whatever the circumstances or reasons that led to his original arrest, and regardless of his political views, Shaker Aamer should not remain incarcerated in the absence of evidence and due legal process. The British and US governments should organise his immediate release and repatriation to the UK.”
