European countries should offer asylum to former terrorist suspects released from Guantánamo Bay, Portugal's foreign minister said today.
In a letter sent to his European Union counterparts, Luis Amado said Portugal was willing to grant refugee status to detainees who could not return to their home countries.
President-elect Barack Obama has vowed to close the controversial camp, currently holding 250 men, at the US naval base on the south-eastern tip of Cuba.
