Return Shaker Aamer to the UK from Guantanamo E-Petition
The Save Shaker Aamer Campaign (SSAC): Save Shaker Campaign is appealing urgently for assistance and funds to support an e-petition calling for a parliamentary debate to demand that the British Government takes immediate steps to obtain the release and return of Shaker Aamer to the United Kingdom from Guantanamo: Return Shaker Aamer to the UK - e-petitions
“Shaker Aamer is a British resident with a British wife and children who has been imprisoned without trial by the US in Bagram Air Force Base and Guantanamo Bay for over ten years. The Foreign Secretary must undertake urgent new initiatives to achieve the immediate transfer of Shaker Aamer to the UK from continuing indefinite detention in Guantanamo Bay.”
Background
Shaker Aamer, a long-term British resident with the right to return, has been unlawfully imprisoned and tortured at Guantanamo Bay for over ten years by Britain’s closest ally, the United States. Shaker Aamer has been cleared for release for over five years and he has never been charged with any offence. Successive British Governments have failed to achieve his return to his home and family in the UK. Whilst the British drag their feet, disturbing new evidence has come to light that a recent delegation from Saudi Arabia visited Shaker at Guantanamo and attempted to make him sign a document agreeing to be transferred to Saudi Arabia, where he would no doubt disappear without trace. During his time in US detention, in Afghanistan as well as in Guantanamo Bay, Shaker has been subjected to sustained torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Abuses suffered by Shaker Aamer in US detention include, beatings, lengthy interrogations, exposure to extreme cold, sensory deprivation, stress positions, white noise, sleep deprivation, long-term solitary confinement and forced feeding.

Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) reported the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: "He who removes from a believer one of his difficulties of this world, Allaah will remove one of his troubles on the Day of Resurrection; and he who finds relief for a hard-pressed person, Allaah will make things easy for him on the Day of Resurrection; he who covers up (the faults and sins) of a Muslim, Allaah will cover up (his faults and sins) in this world and in the Hereafter. Allaah supports His slave as long as the slave is supportive of his brother..." (Sahih Muslim)
