Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether Shaker Aamer has yet been released from detention at Guantanamo Bay to rejoin his family in England; if not, why not; and what representations they are making to the government of the United States on his behalf.
This question was answered on 4th November 2015
We can confirm that Shaker Aamer was released from Guantanamo Bay and returned to the UK on 30 October.
It has been a longstanding British Government policy to secure Mr Aamer’s return to the UK. We welcome his release and continue to support President Obama’s commitment to closing the detention facility at Guantanamo.
