Brighton law student, Omar Deghayes, has been held in Camp V, Guantanamo Bay, for four years. The anti-Guantanamo campaign in Brighton, called Save Omar, seeks to highlight the injustices of his case.
Save Omar is made up of local people who hold open friendly meetings and carrying all kinds of campaigning activities: letter-writing, street stalls, information meetings, political theatre and street protests.
For more information about Omar Deghayes and the campaign for his release and return to Brighton click on www.save-omar.org.uk and see below for one of our current campaigns.
Postcards from Brighton
A recent High Court ruling has recognised that Omar Deghayes and other British residents, Jamil el-Banna and Bisher al-Riwi, are being tortured in Guantanamo Bay and as British refugees have a just claim to British protection. The ruling did not require British ministers to actually do anything about individual cases of abuse by US authorities, leaving it to British Ministers "discretion." Brighton people are sending postcards to Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett asking her to step up and act for Omar Deghayes and also invite her, if she needs to know more about his case, to visit us in our, and Omar's, home town.
