Tony Blair and George Bush should be given immunity from prosecution in order for the world to learn the truth about claims the US and British were complicit in torture at Guantanamo Bay, Shaker Aamer has told ITV News.

Shaker Aamer has given his first TV interview to ITV News after being released from the controversial prison camp in October, following 14 years in detention without charge.

He reveals allegations of regular physical violence and psychological abuse - and tells how he broke down in tears when he saw his four children for the first time after his release - and one of them for the first time ever.

Aamer: I'm scared security service will try to shut me up

Shaker Aamer has told ITV News he is "scared" the UK security services may "do anything" to silence him since his release from Guantanamo Bay.

Mr Aamer, the UK's last detainee at the prison camp, told Julie Etchingham he felt less secure for "telling the world what happened" to him.

"I really don't want to upset anybody and don't want to start anything in this country that can jeopardise their security," he said.

"But at the same time all I'm doing is telling the truth, that's all."
