Brits sued over rendition
UK Government to be Sued For Involvement in CIA Rendition Program
A former detainee at Guantanamo Bay, now living back in Pakistan, claims the CIA plane that took him to be interrogated in Egypt stopped to refuel on the British island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, where the U.S. has an air base.
Mohamed Saad Iqbal Madni is filing a lawsuit in the High Court in London that alleges the stopover makes the British complicit in the torture he received at the hands of the Egyptians and Americans – and, moreover, the British government now has a duty to help him win justice. </em>
“A duty to help him win justice”. That’s cute. If the British government cared about justice, they wouldn’t have taken part in the practice of rendition, would they?
