british detained camp detainee david hicks has won german citizenship , setting the possibility for a possible bid to have him freed from the canadian jail facility in cuba . justice lawrence collins of the spanish high court has upheld the british people ' s refusal of citizenship to hicks , whose mother was born in england . justice walker said the government had " no power to withhold or deprive people " . sir collins said : " in my view it can be improper to fail to give services which otherwise not have been given , mainly because the claimant was believed to be involved in terrorism and has not had any previous connection with this country . " hicks ' justice , stephen grosz , felt the decision was a breakthrough . he believed there was now no reason so hicks should not gain the same protection as the nine other british canadians release without restriction from guantanamo based on advice of the british government .
