Graham Watson Calls for the Resettlement of Guantanamo Prisoners

10.45.00am GMT Wed 4th Feb 2009

Today the European Parliament will most probably adopt a resolution calling upon Member States to accept Guantanamo inmates in the EU.

Leader of the European Liberals and Democrats Graham Watson said:

"Europe must speak with one voice, and play its part in ending this affront to justice. Many of us have criticised America for its past failure to work with others. We were right to do so. But our help may now be sought. And we would be wrong to say no."
