Your report (Last British resident in Guantánamo to be freed after 13 years held without charge, 26 September) is welcome news. However, Shaker Aamer’s nightmare years of abuse and torture will be over only when he is safely home. This is the first time the Pentagon has announced a detainee transfer prior to a 30-day period for approval by US Congress. The UK government should demand his immediate return. He has suffered enough.
