Campaigners trying to get justice for a man jailed in Guantanamo Bay have suffered a blow after organising a benefit concert.

A £900 projector was stolen from the gig intended to boost funds for fighting on behalf of Omar Deghayes.

The equipment was not insured and now the organisers face paying for it to be replaced.

The gig was at Concorde 2, Madeira Drive, Brighton, last Friday.

The projector, borrowed from Brighton Resource Centre, was taken between 10.15pm and 10.25pm as everyone was packing away.

Leading Omar campaigner Jackie Chase, 48, of Grantham Road, Brighton, has asked for it to be returned.

She said: "The resource centre supplies it to lots of low-income groups. We haven't got insurance and neither has the resource centre.

We want to appeal to whoever took it to bring it back."

The projector can be handed in at The Argus offices or the Music Workshop at 39 Beaconsfield Road, Brighton.

Anyone with information can call Jackie on 07796 478421.

Omar Deghayes, formerly from Saltdean, has been incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay for four years. He is one of eight former British residents still held there.

Among the performers at last week's concert were folk band Seize The Day, singer-songwriter Robb Johnston and Brighton band Republic Of Heaven.
