The Guardian: Returning Guantanamo detainees face days of questioning

Four of the five Britons released from Guantanamo Bay were arrested by anti-terrorism police within minutes of arriving in the UK last night and are expected to face days of questioning.
After two years of detention at the now notorious US naval base, the men enjoyed a few hours of technical freedom on board their military flight but were formally cautioned on the plane as they touched down at RAF Northolt.

But legal experts say it is unlikely that they will be prosecuted and one of their solicitors described the arrests as a "charade".

The fifth man, Jamal Udeen, was released last night and accused the US of injustice and the UK of complicity in his detention. He had been detained for questioning at the airbase but was released within hours.

Officers whisked Shafiq Rasul and Tarek Dergoul, both 26, and Asif Iqbal and Rhuhel Ahmed, both 22, to one of Britain's most secure police stations in central London for questioning.

About being held prisoner for no reason. "Cruel treatment" was mentioned.

Just heard this on bbcamerica. No doubt details will be forthcoming.

FOUR Britons freed from two years captivity in Guantanamo Bay were still prisoners after flying home last night.

They were arrested under the Terrorism Act and face questioning about any possible links to the Taliban and al-Qaeda. A fifth man was briefly held under border controls but was later freed.

As anguished families of the detained men waited to speak to their loved ones, lawyer Greg Powell acting for suspect Ruhal Ahmed said: "These men were treated like terrorists at Guantanamo. Now they're back home they're still being treated as terrorists."

Campaigner Salman Mirza added: "They've already been shown to pose no threat to national security. If they are questioned again it will be absolutely disgraceful."
