Jack Straw has promised to take in the UK Guantánamo prisoners.

The Minister of Justice of Great Britain Jack Straw has promised to consider any U.S. request to deploy in British prisons of Guantánamo, reportedly at the site of the London The Times. Straw statement is contrary to previously stated position of the British foreign office, who spoke of the willingness to accept only inmates with a view to settle in Britain.
His stance on Guantanamo Straw introduced, speaking in London with his American counterpart - Prosecutor General Eric Holder. "We will always consider requests for us Soediennymi States - said Straw. - We will do everything possible to assist and support the Obama administration's efforts to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay."
Barack Obama Administration, which began work in January, decided to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay - military camp, established during the presidency of George W. Bush for suspected terrorists. The main difficulty is the question of the future fate of the prisoners: a prison located in Cuba, they will have to either transfer to the United States or be deported to third countries.
Shortly before the meeting with Straw Holder diplomatic source The Times stressed the continuity of the position of Minister for Foreign Affairs David Milibenda, which opposes the admission of prisoners in the UK. Holder argues that Washington has requested or directed in London, but Bush administration officials previously claimed that the United States with similar, please contact the British on many occasions.
According to the Associated Press, are currently at Guantanamo Bay contains approximately 240 inmates. A significant portion of them decided to release, but to do so thus far not succeeded because of difficulties with the deportation: the home of many of the prisoners risk of ill-treatment by the authorities. Some European nations, notably Portugal and Lithuania, have promised to consider the adoption of Guantanamo prisoners on their territory. The last resident of the UK, Ethiopian citizen Binyam Mohamed, was released from prison at Guantanamo Bay in 2009: it handed over to British authorities and was released after questioning.
