Zitat:Two years ago today, Feroz Abbasi, a British citizen arrested in Afghanistan, was one of the first detainees to be transferred hooded, shackled and manacled by the US military to Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo Bay. His mother, Zumrati, who lives in Croydon, was informed about five days later - by the media. It took a further six days for a British government official to contact her. Significantly, she was assured that her son did not need a lawyer.
