Omar Deghayes has been released from Guantanamo Bay and will arrive back in the UK later today.
Omar is travelling back alongside two other British citizens, Jamil el-Banna and Abdenour Samuer, on board a chartered aircraft along with a doctor and Metropolitan Police officers.
Another freed UK resident, Shaker Abdur-Raheem Aamer, is expected to return to his native Saudi Arabia.
A fifth UK resident, Ethiopian Binyam Mohammed, will remain at Guantanamo.
The three released men were accompanied by officers from the Met's counter-terrorism unit as well as uniformed officers, whose presence was requested by the Foreign Office.
The Argus has campaigned for Omar to get a fair trial.
