On 7 March 2013, Cageprisoners hosted an event which featured Victoria Brittain, former foreign editor of The Guardian, speaking about her newly published book Shadow Lives.

It was the opportunity for all to learn about the daily struggles and immense strength of Guantanamo Bay detainees' wives or families of prisoners recently extradited to the US.

If you missed the event or want to remember these forgotten women once again, tune in tonight on Islam Channel (Sky 813) at 10.30 pm.

MIAMI - One of the best known prisoners in Guantanamo says a hunger strike at the U.S. base in Cuba has grown to include 130 men in a protest over their confinement.

A political analyst says the US conditions citizens through propaganda to accept the human rights violations ongoing in the Guantanamo Bay military prison.

Thirty-one men on hunger strike lodge complaint with Red Cross that they are being denied drinking water by jailers.

THE former Haverstock schoolboy captured by US secret agents in east Africa shortly after being stripped of his British passport has spoken to his family for the first time from his cell in New York.

NEW YORK — An East African man has been sentenced in New York to just over nine years in prison for conspiring to support terrorism by associating with a violent extremist group in Somalia.

Since 2010, Theresa May has taken UK citizenship away from 16 people - all ethnic minorities (and some British born) whom she claimed held a second passport. Two of these men were later killed in American drone attacks and others have been kidnapped, held in secret and rendered to America. The British government should be protecting the human rights of all its citizens, not treating these rights as inconveniences they can sign away!  Please sign this petition calling on Keith Vaz and the Home Affairs Select Committee to investigative and end the racist citizenship deprivation laws.

The indefinite detention by the United States of the remainder of detainees at Bagram prison after the U.S. formally handed over the base to the Afghan government is an international crime and a violation of human rights, says a former intelligence linguist.
