abstract
  • Cageprisoners Ltd is a London-based human rights organization with an Islamic focus, whose stated aim is "to raise awareness of the plight of the prisoners at Guantánamo Bay and other detainees held as part of the War on Terror." It has, however, been criticised by high-profile human rights advocates as an apologist for the Taliban and for terrorism. It campaigns on behalf of Muslim prisoners, including convicted terrorists. Its Director, Moazzam Begg, is a former Guantánamo Bay detainee who was released without charge in 2005 by President Bush over the objections of the Pentagon, the CIA, and the FBI (all of whom were concerned that Begg could still be a dangerous terrorist). In November 2010, The Guardian reported that US embassy cables showed a US U-turn, praising Begg over his campaign for Europe to take in other Guantanamo detainees. Referring to 2010 Afghanistan, Begg said he completely supported the inalienable right of the people to fight "foreign occupation". The organization has worked closely with a number of former detainees held by the United States. It has been criticized for championing Anwar al-Awlaki after he was released from 18 months' detention without charge by Yemen. He was alleged to be a senior al-Qaeda member. Cageprisoners invited him to address fundraising dinners in 2008 and 2009, and featured material about him on its website.
