lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, nearly 200 people, including five British nationals, have been released since the prison was created. This means that all these people were held against their will for up to two years, without being told why. They were tortured, denied access to family, friends or legal representation, and in the end they were not charged with any crime. How can any civilised democratic society not only justify but also condone this? If a country like Iran, for instance, did this to an American citizen, I am sure George Bush would be the first to condemn it. One of my constituents, Moazzam Begg, who is detained in Guantanamo Bay, wrote a letter to his family which got through uncensored. It details a string of abuses. This, along with other evidence from former prisoners and people who have worked there, paints a disturbing picture of what is going on. There must be an immediate independent investigation into the allegations. All the detainees at Guantanamo Bay have been held in unacceptable legal limbo for far too long."@en1
