Petition text:
Since 11 August 2005 at least 210 detainees, illegally incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay, have been on hunger strike, in protest at their conditions. We the undersigned urge the British Government to raise this matter with the US authorities as a matter of urgency.

Abu Bakr, brother of Omar Deghayes, a British resident who has been detained in Guantanamo Bay for over three years, expressed his grave concern about the state of his brother's health after four weeks on hunger strike and urges the British government to intercede with the American government before it is too late.
