Jamal al-Harith, 37, of Manchester, said detainees were shackled with leg cuffs with metal links that cut into the skin for as long as 15 hours. He also claimed U.S. soldiers paraded naked prostitutes in front of the many devout Muslims, and alleged he was kicked, punched and assaulted with batons. Harith told The Times of London the prisoners gave up on human rights. "After a while we stopped asking for human rights -- we wanted animal rights," Harith said. He was one of five British men returned home Tuesday, and was the first allowed complete freedom once home. Police and intelligence officials arrested the other four in London for further questioning. Four other British nationals remain imprisoned at Guantanamo, and Home Secretary David Blunkett has said the government will continue to press for their release.
