Report slams UK involvement in torture
A damning report has slammed Britain for violating human rights through colluding with the U.S. in the torture and rendition of terror suspects.
The document blamed the UK for being involved in or turning a blind eye to abuses and for co-operating in the murky U.S. practice of ‘extraordinary rendition’ – illegally transferring terror suspects to secret CIA jails in countries that allowed torture.
The so-called Constitution Project dossier also claims MI5 agents under the last Labour government knew prisoners were ill-treated at the hands of their captors.
An independent American task force did the research and concluded ‘indisputably’ that the U.S. ‘engaged in the practice of torture’ after the September 11 attacks.
The task force included an 11-strong panel of experts who spent two years investigating the country’s treatment of military detainees.
