US blocking Hicks UK citizenship, lawyer says
The US military lawyer for Australian Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks says the United States Government is standing in the way of his client being granted British citizenship.
Major Michael Mori has spoken at Melbourne University Law School, criticising the legal process facing the South Australian.
He says the US will not subject its own citizens to the military commissions.
Maj Mori says he has also had word from British officials that they have not been given access to Hicks.
