British Residents in Guantanamo Bay

I received this information from the Save Omar campaign which is a humanitarian campaign supported by West Sussex NUT.

Omar Deghayes is a 35 year old married man and father, originally from Libya, but a resident of Saltdean since 1987, who was arrested in Pakistan and has been held in solitary confinement in Camp Delta (Guantanamo Bay), Cuba since 2002.

He has not been charged with any offence and the only evidence produced against him is a video tape,which the Americans claim links Mr Deghayes with terrorists but which experts have dismissed as a case of mistaken identity.

There is a worksheet about his case for use with PSHE classes

It is in Microsoft Word format and can be read using Open Office as well.
