British musician PJ Harvey has released a new song to draw attention to the ongoing detention of the last British resident held inside the US prison at Guantánamo Bay. The track is called Shaker Aamer.

Aamer is the last British resident imprisoned in Guantánamo without charge since 2002. The British government has expressed repeatedly that it wants him back in the UK. Last week the US announced it is to restart transfers from the prison.

No water for three days.

I cannot sleep, or stay awake.
