Madam, - Your edition of January 12th poses the question of what the UK government should do with the four Guantanamo Bay prisoners who are due to be repatriated.
Here is a radical suggestion. Why don't they charge the men with any crime they are suspected of having committed, send them for a fair and prompt trial, and sentence them to an appropriate punishment if found guilty? Meanwhile, regardless of whether or not the men have a case to answer, the UK government should also investigate the men's claims that they have suffered torture at the hands of the US authorities.
When legitimate governments flout the law, the rights and security of every person are endangered. - Yours, etc.,
SEAN LOVE, Executive Director, Amnesty International, Fleet Street, Dublin 2.
