The father of a British man held at Guantanamo Bay rejected assurances from US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld that the detainees' cases would be reviewed.

Azmat Begg, whose son Moazzam is being held in the US military base on Cuba, attacked Mr Rumsfeld for insisting the detentions marked no breach of human rights.

Mr Begg said he and a group of other campaigners planned to travel to the US to protest at the continuing imprisonment of 660 terror suspects without charge or access to lawyers.

Mr Rumsfeld announced that long-term prisoners would receive annual reviews to determine whether they should remain in custody and dismissed accusations that the detentions violated human rights.
