Top comedians have joined the call for justice for Guantanamo detainee Omar Deghayes.
Stand-ups Bill Bailey and Mark Steel added their names to a petition demanding action over the case of the 36-year-old law graduate from Saltdean, who has been imprisoned without trial for three years.
The comics were performing gigs as part of the Paramount Brighton Comedy Festival.
Campaigners lobbying for Mr Deghayes' release went to their shows and spoke to them about the case after their performances.
They immediately signed the petition, which is calling on the Government to lobby the US to return Mr Deghayes to the UK for jurisdiction immediately.
