 | | WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Amnesty International is disappointed at today's ruling of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales that the United Kingdom government is not obliged to intervene on behalf of UK residents held at Guantanamo Bay. |
 | | "The Court of Appeal has missed an opportunity to send a clear message to the UK government that it must fulfill its responsibilities towards all Guantanamo detainees, regardless of whether they are UK citizens or residents," said Nicola Duckworth, Amnesty International's Europe and Central Asia Director. |
 | | "Today's ruling of the Court of Appeal does not absolve the UK authorities from their obligation to ensure that a full independent and impartial investigation is held into the UK's involvement in the cases of Bisher Al-Rawi and Jamil El-Banna," added Duckworth. |
