Kuwait called on Sunday for fair trials for its nationals detained in the US detention camp of Guantanamo, the Kuwait News Agency reported.

"Kuwait is keen on subduing all detainees for a just trial according to the legal state of each detainee and adherence to implementation of the just verdict issued against each detainee," Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Sharar said in a written statement.

Kuwait was very concerned about "the health state of the Guantanamo detainees who went on a hunger strike recently", the statement added.

The call came after Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah said Kuwait was discussing with the United States the possibility of handing over five Kuwaiti detainees.

The US side has pledged to work on a solution to some cases of the detainees who have been held in Guantanamo for over three years, but stressed the issue is "complex".

There are altogether 11 Kuwaitis detained in Guantanamo, Cuba.
