BBC to screen Panorama Guantanamo special

[Khephra]

The BBC is breaking into its schedules for a Panorama special tonight about the families of the Guantanamo Bay detainees.

Out of Guantanamo tells the story of two British families whose sons were held at the US detention camp in Cuba, and will be screened at 7.30pm tonight.

Panorama has spoken to the family of Jamal Udeen, also known as Jamal al Harith, who was released without charge last night, and to relatives of Moazzem Begg, who remains in the Guantanamo camp.

Another Panorama special on the Hutton inquiry was shown at 9pm on a Wednesday night in January, but the programme is only scheduled in prime time four or five times a year.

The Hutton special ended up on The Discovery Times Channel, so it's possible that we'll end up being able to see it in the U.S. soon. I was incredibly impressed with the Hutton doc. It took about a month to reach us, so the wait for this one might not be too long.
