Trevor McCrisken on BBC World TV
PAIS Associate Professor appeared live on BBC World TV programme "Impact" on Friday November 29th. Trevor participated in a discussion on Guantanamo Bay and talked about the reasons why President Obama is finding it so difficult to make good on his pledge to close the detention facility. The programme focused on the case of Shaker Aamer, the last British citizen being held, who was first detained by the US authorities 12 years ago. Also taking part in the discussion were the lawyer for Shaker Aamer, Clive Stafford Smith, and Dr David Nicholl, who has written about the medical ethics of force-feeding hunger-striking detainees. Trevor focused on the political barriers being faced by the Obama administration in its attempts to release or transfer to the US or to third countries.
