Guardian: Straw demands release of man with MI5 links from Guantánamo
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We have written to Condoleezza Rice asking for his release and repatriation to the UK."
Mr Straw and Ms Rice discussed the British view that Guantánamo should close during the US secretary of state's recent visit to Blackburn and Liverpool.
Mr Rawi's lawyer in the US, Brent Mickum, said: "I see this as a positive development. I'm only left to ask the question what took so long. Did they need the judicial challenge to do the right thing?"
