Tony Blair's Attorney General against US Guantanamo Prison

Havana, May 8, 2006. (ACN) British Attorney General Lord Peter Goldsmith is
expected to officially call for the shutting down of the prison camp maintained by Washington in its military base located at the illegally occupied Cuban territory of Guantanamo.

Goldsmith will make his announcement at the Royal United Services Institute later this week, The Observer reported.

The statement by the attorney general would be the first in public from a Blair cabinet member. Washington is still holding over 500 persons without charges or proper legal rights at Guantanamo.

While the prime minister has only dared to call the improvised prison where physical and psychological torture is routinely carried out an anomaly, several cabinet members have expressed in private their belief that the detention camp should be closed.
