REVELATIONS in a damning report into CIA torture of detainees led to renewed calls yesterday for the release of the last British resident held in Guantanamo Bay.

The fresh demand for Shaker Aamer’s release follows the publication of a report earlier this week by the US Senate intelligence committee which said that interrogations of terror suspects by the CIA were “far worse” than the agency had portrayed.

Mr Aamer, a Saudi national formerly resident in Battersea, London, has been held without charge or trial at the US gulag since 2002, despite having twice been cleared for release by the US administration.
