SHAKER AAMER was among five of Guantanamo’s former British inmates to assemble outside the US Embassy in London yesterday to demand the infamous prison’s immediate closure.

Mr Aamer, Moazzam Begg, Ruhal Ahmed and others met for the first time at a rally on Grosvenor Square on the day that marked the detention centre’s 14th anniversary.

There are still 104 men awaiting release in Guantanamo Bay, 45 of whom have long been cleared for transfer.
