I would like to thank The Argus for continuing to campaign for Omar Deghayes to be sent home.

The recent article, "Make your voice heard for justice" (The Argus, July 8), reports US authorities are at last looking for ways to shut Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, where Omar has been held without charge for four years.

Apparently, all the British Government had to do to get Omar back to his family in Saltdean was ask.

That it has taken so long is quite shocking. How politicians who are in a position to help but choose to do nothing can sleep remains a mystery to me.

It has fallen to The Argus, its readers and the supporters of the Save Omar campaign to remind them of their responsibilities to uphold the most fundamental principles, such as Article Three of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."

Thanks to The Argus for stepping up again.
