Shaker Aamer, UK's Last Detainee In Guantánamo Bay, To Be Freed UK government confirms that Aamer, the last British resident held at US base in Cuba, will be released after 13 years without trial 25 September 2015
The US is to release Shaker Aamer, the last British resident to be held at Guantánamo Bay, after 13 years without trial.
Barack Obama is believed to have informed David Cameron of the decision during a phone call on Thursday.
According to senior US defence sources, Aamers release was approved following a thorough review of his case and taking into consideration the robust security assurances that will be provided by the British government.
The British government said Aamer would be released after a notice period that usually lasts 30 days, and would then finally be reunited with his family.
The government has regularly raised Mr Aamers case with the US authorities and we support President Obamas commitment to closing the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, the spokesman said.

“the robust security assurances that will be provided by the British government.” ahahahahahaha
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
“he will not be allowed to carry his prized machete in public except on islamic holidays”....
It’s useful to know the basic fact of his release from the Guardian. For any real background on this guy, however, we of course need to consult other news sources.
Guantánamo Bay is still open? Obama promised to shut it down. I’m shocked. /sarcasm

The report goes on to detail this guy's multiple associations with bad actors.
What’s one more roaming about the streets of Manchester?
Good point. The UK has ingested so much poison via Islamic immigration that it now has thousands of home-grown Shaker Aamers just waiting to go off.
