Just one of the many travesties of justice, just one of the people held at Gauntanamo bay. Whatever their status, this is illegal detention. When it can be proven that a person was at work in Britain when they were supposedly training as a terrorist it's FUNKING disgusting.



Ahmed Errachidi, 40

Ahmed Errachidi is a Moroccan who came to Britain in 1985 and was later given indefinite leave to remain. His wife and two sons live in London.

He worked as a chef in a number of well-known restaurants, including the Hard Rock Cafe.

He travelled to Afghanistan via Pakistan and the US authorities claimed he attended a terrorist training camp.


Mr Errachidi worked as a chef in London

But his family have wageslips showing that he was cooking at a restaurant in Muswell Hill, north London, at the time he was supposedly in the camp.

He was captured in Pakistan and eventually taken to Guantanamo. It is thought he may be one of several Guantanamo detainees who were "sold" to the US for $5,000 each.
