Guantanamo Update: Binyam Mohamed Home Next Week

Details emerged this afternoon that suggest Ethiopian-born UK resident Binyam Mohamed will be freed from Guantánamo Bay- where he has been held since 2004- next week. The Washington Post, citing an anonymous British source, believes that Mohamed may be released as early as Monday.

The UK government will not, however, be pressing for the release of the remaining UK resident held at Guantánamo, Shaker Aamer- the BBC has been told by the Foreign Office that the UK is "no longer in active discussions" with the US over Aamer's release.
