British complicity in torture
The Independent - Revealed: Western nations that send terror suspects to torturing regimes: Britain and other Western countries are meeting the terror threat by sending suspects to regimes where they risk torture and abuse, it is claimed in a damning report published today... Craig Murray, the former British ambassador to Uzbekistan, has recently accused Britain of complicity in torture... He said many prisoners of Uzbek origin captured by US forces were delivered to Uzbek jails where they were subjected to torture. Information from these interrogations ended up in MI6 reports that he received. "MI6 said they found the intelligence useful," he said. "I was shattered and disillusioned."
