Christians Against Torture says it is a "disgrace" that Shaker Aamer is still being held in Guantanamo Bay.
The Welsh group is urging Foreign Secretary William Hague to make a
fresh public plea for the return of Aamer, a citizen of Saudi Arabia and
the last British resident detained in Guantanamo Bay.
Aamer was cleared for release six years ago but remains behind bars.
He has been held at the US base for more than 11 years and is on hunger
strike in protest against his detention.
The Reverend Roy Jenkins, chair of Christians Against Torture, a
Welsh churches' campaign, said Aamer had been "repeatedly and
extensively abused", spending long periods in solitary confinement, and
that he was "very weak".
"What is happening to this man is a disgrace," he said. "We have welcomed the government's insistence that it wants him back
in this country, but are worried that any further delays might prove
fatal."
More than 100,000 people across Britain signed an online petition in
support of his release from Guantanamo.

supporters have added their voices to the call by writing to their MPs
and to the Foreign Secretary asking him to put pressure on the US for
Aamer's transfer.
Reverend Jenkins added: "We are appalled and ashamed at the way
Shaker Aamer continues to be treated ... There are real fears that he
might not survive this ordeal. He has never been charged with any offence, still less convicted,
and we believe our government has an obligation to step up its demands
for his return to this country to be reunited with his wife and
children."
