A dossier of articles from Brighton newspaper The Argus has been taken to Washington, demanding justice for Guantanamo prisoner Omar Deghayes.

Sussex MP Des Turner flew out to meet officials at the US State Department this week to call for Omar, from Saltdean, to be put on trial or released.

And he delivered articles, put together by The Argus, to the White House together with a letter to George Bush from editor Michael Beard.

Michael wrote: "The Argus newspaper has campaigned for justice for Mr Deghayes and his family.

"He may have charges to answer. If so he should be dealt with according to the rule of law.

"He may be innocent. If so, his indefinite detention in direct violation of the Geneva Convention is even more unacceptable."
