Seized in Pakistan in late 2001, he has been abused and tortured in Afghanistan and Guantánamo Bay. In August 2007, the British government called for his release along with four other men. They have all since returned to the UK. Shaker has never been charged or tried. He has a British family living in south London. He has a seven year old son he has never met.
