Ahern urged to raise Camp X-Ray issue

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern was urged today to raise the issue of Guantanamo Bay with the US President during the summit.

Stephen Jakobi, who is legal adviser to the European Parliament on Guantanamo Bay, said the summit represented a "last chance" for Europe to put pressure on the US over what he said was the abuse of detainees’ basic human rights.
