A CROSS-PARTY delegation of MPs is travelling to Washington, US, today to lobby President Barack Obama for the release of British Guantanamo inmate Shaker Aamer.
The delegation includes Labour legend Jeremy Corbyn and maverick Tory David Davis.
Campaigners demanding the release of Mr Aamer from the US prison camp in Cuba protested in Trafalgar Square on Saturday.
One supporter spent 14 hours in a metal cage — an hour for each year of Mr Aamer’s imprisonment.
One of the so-called war on terror’s many victims, Mr Aamer has been detained without trial in the notorious camp since being arrested in Afghanistan in 2001.
His wife and four children live in Battersea, south London, but Mr Aamer has never met his last-born child.
His release was authorised in the US seven years ago, but his imprisonment continues.
