  STAFF at a Birmingham cosmetics store showed they don't turn the other cheek when they held a protest over prisoners' treatment at Guantanamo Bay.

  Workers at the Corporation Street store have been wearing comedy over-sized underpants all week to show their anger over how prisoners are kept at the US-run Cuban camp.
  Store manager Laura Westwood, one of the three-strong team from the store who decided to get to the bottom of the issue, said: "It's important that we highlight the conditions that people are living in at these secret prison camps.
  "As well as raising awareness we will also be raising money all week which will go to human rights lawyers."
  The campaign was launched after Lush cofounder Mark Constantine met human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith at a memorial service for Body Shop founder Anita Roddick.
  He heard Mr Stafford Smith talk about being accused by the US Government of sneaking contraband underpants to his clients, which gave him the idea to print "fair trial, my a***" on underpants.
