Distraught: In a new documentary 16-year-old Omar Khadr is shown weeping during his interrogation at Guantanamo Bay

The Canadian citizen was taken to the notorious American detention camp in 2002 after being captured in Afghanistan.

Last year he pleaded guilty to war crimes, and is currently serving an eight-year sentence - but his defence claim he was manipulated by his jihadist father.

Khadr, now 25, is the son of a man believed to have been an al-Qaeda financier, and spent his childhood moving between Canada, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

He was accused of throwing a grenade which killed an American soldier during the fire-fight in which he was captured.



But a documentary about his case, You Don't Like the Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantanamo, argues that there is little evidence for this.



Child: But Khadr is now serving an eight-year sentence for war crimes

The film, which receives its UK premiere this week at the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton, south London, is based around CCTV footage of Khadr's four-day interrogation in the controversial prison camp.



Video footage, first released in 2008 after a legal battle in the U.S. Supreme Court, shows Khadr with his shirt pulled over his head and refusing to co-operate with his questioners.



Khadr was just 15 at the time of his capture. He was tried as an adult even though UN guidelines state that child soldiers 'should be considered primarily as victims, not only as perpetrators'.



His lawyer Dennis Edney has criticised Khadr's treatment, saying: 'If you can't protect the most vulnerable in society – which are children – then what is it that you do stand for?'



Khadr's conviction last year came despite Barack Obama's repeated promise to close Guantanamo Bay.



While campaigning, he said he would close the camp within a year of becoming president.



However, earlier this year he signed a bill which stops detainees being transferred elsewhere, and later formalised the system whereby those suspected of war crimes could be held without trial indefinitely.
