Binyam Mohamed

My Lords, can the Minister confirm that Mr Mohamed is still at Guantanamo? I ask this because the Statement mentioned the United States federal courts, so he could be somewhere else. As to the Attorney-General, whose presence we all welcome, can the Minister confirm that her conclusions will be published as soon as possible? Does he agree that Guantanamo is only the tip of the iceberg of a far greater amount around the world of detention without trial? We in this House argue whether there should be detention of 14 or 28 days or some other figure, but many of the people concerned have been held for several years. That cannot be helpful to democracy or the defence of the rule of law.
