HJS Research Fellow, Emily Dyer, argues that there are still important concerns surrounding Shaker Aamer after his release from Guantanamo Bay.

Aamer is believed by the United States government to be a military-trained al-Qaeda member who recruited for extremist causes and had close ties to Osama bin Laden. He has been described by one guard as the camp's 'Bon Jovi' for his celebrity status and power over other inmates.

Upon his return to the United Kingdom, Saudi-born Aamer will be eligible for a payout thought to be worth approximately £1,000,000.
