LONDON, Jan 21: The three British al-Qaeda suspects being held at Camp X-Ray in Cuba have told a visiting team from Britain that they have “no complaints” about the way they are being treated, but some photographs of the detainees published over the weekend heightened fears about their treatment.

The British officials, who have talked to the detainees, said the three are in “good physical health” and are being treated well.

The long-awaited assessment of conditions at the base comes amid fierce criticism of the US’s treatment of the prisoners, who are held in small cells open to the elements. Tony Blair’s official spokesman said the three had given the British team messages for their families.

The British team’s report was received by the Foreign Office this morning and passed on to the Prime Minister’s office, but will not be made public, said the spokesman.

“There were no gags, no goggles, no ear muffs, no shackles while the detainees are in their cells. They only wear shackles and only shackles - when they are outside their cells,” the spokesman said. The British Foreign Office has also confirmed the name of one of the suspects Feroz Abbasi, from Croydon London, but is refusing to release the names of the other two British men held at the camp.

Mr Blair’s spokesman said: “They do get three meals a day including a pre-packed Islamic meal for lunch, they do get as much water as they need and they do get daily medical checks.

“The Red Cross is arranging for them to get copies of the Holy Quran and as has been detailed by the camp commander they are provided with the basic requirements”.

“Calls to prayer are broadcast over the camp PA system and the US military authorities were helpful and open throughout the officials’ visit”.
