The last British prisoner being held at Guantanamo Bay has spoken from his cell for the first time. Shaker Aamer, who has been detained for 11 years 2002 without charge, told CBS' 60 Minutes show "act with us like a human being, not like slaves."
Earlier this year, Prime Minister David Cameron raised Shaker Aamer's case with President Barack Obama at a G8 summit and the British government has repeatedly stated that it wants him returned to the UK.
Despite having British residency and a British wife and four children living in Battersea, London, US authorities have repeatedly threatened to send him back to Saudi Arabia, his birthplace, against his wishes.
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "Mr Aamer's case remains a high priority for the UK government and we continue to make clear to the US that we want him released and returned to the UK as a matter of urgency.
He added: "Any decision regarding Mr Aamer's release ultimately remains in the hands of the United States government. We continue to monitor Mr Aamer's welfare through engagement with the US authorities."
