A British resident held at Guantanamo Bay for more than four years is expected to be released today, his lawyer said.

A Manchester man released from Guantanamo Bay told Europe’s top human rights body today he was beaten, shackled, kept in a cramped cage and fed rotten food as part of “systematic abuse” while in American custody.

A British detainee at Guantanamo Bay today claimed he had been subjected to “vindictive torture” and death threats by the United States authorities.
