Friday the 20th of May’s reports that at least four Guantanamo detainees had to be physically restrained from committing suicide is a very alarming development and an indication of the level of despair and desperation faced  by all who continue to be illegally imprisoned in Guanatanamo Bay. It appears,from the scant reports we have received, that several other detainees were involved in a clash with the guards. Yet the British government refuses to act on behalf of British residents still detained at Guantanamo.
