http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=6476886&cKey=1140122135000LONDON (Reuters) - A top judge on Thursday permitted three British residents being held at Guantanamo Bay to take legal action in order to force the government to facilitate their release.
Judge Andrew Collins told London's High Court that the United States' idea of what constituted torture was "not the same as ours and doesn't appear to coincide with that of most civilised countries."
Iraqi Bisher al-Rawi and his Jordanian business partner, Jamil el-Banna, were both detained in Gambia three years ago, whilst Omar Deghayes was detained in Pakistan -- all three are long-term British residents.
The case could come to court as early as next week.
