British Detainee Who Claims Abuse Is Returning Home
By RAYMOND BONNER
NYT
LONDON — A Guantánamo detainee whose case has drawn international attention because of his assertions that he was tortured while in C.I.A. custody is scheduled to arrive back in Britain on Monday, according to his lawyers and British officials.
The detainee, Binyam Mohamed, a former resident of Britain, has been in American custody for nearly seven years, held and interrogated first in Pakistan, then for 18 months in Morocco, before being sent to the Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, prison camp.
His return will end an 18-month standoff between the United States and Britain, which has been seeking his release since August 2007.
It will not, however, end an effort by Mr. Mohamed’s lawyers and some members of Parliament here to obtain photographs that Mr. Mohamed said were taken by an American woman and showed his injuries, according to notes of his conversations with his lawyer, who provided the notes to The New York Times.
