Former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg after being released from Belmarsh prison, south London, in 2014
A FORMER Guantanamo Bay prisoner and human rights campaigner has won his eight-year battle against the Home Office to have his passport restored.
Moazzam Begg, who was held for three years at Guantanamo where he said he was tortured by the US, had the document taken from him in 2013 following two trips to Syria.
Repeated attempts by Mr Begg to have his passport restored in the following years were denied despite police accepting he was innocent after a terror prosecution case relating to his time in Syria collapsed in 2014.
