Planned military tribunals for terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay are unacceptable, the UK's attorney general has said.
Four British men are still being held at the Cuban camp.
In a speech on Friday, Lord Goldsmith argued there can be "no compromise" on certain principles and the US tribunals would not offer a fair trial.

The UK Government has always voiced reservations over the trial plans. Lord Goldsmith is underlining the point.

Amnesty international's UK director Kate Allen said: "The important thing now is that the UK government seriously steps up pressure to speedily secure proper trials or the immediate release of everyone held in Cuba."

Five other Britons were returned to Britain in March and were quickly freed without charge.
