The UK government's efforts to conceal its intelligence agencies' role in the CIA's post-9/11 torture program will undergo scrutiny through two cases brought before a secret tribunal. These cases, initiated by Guantanamo Bay prisoners Mustafa al-Hawsawi and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, will probe allegations of UK complicity in mistreatment and revitalize discussions about the UK’s involvement in CIA black sites. This trial follows a previously shelved inquiry, demonstrating the persistent calls for accountability and clarity regarding dark chapters in the UK's intelligence history.
"The upcoming four-day trial at the investigatory powers tribunal will challenge the UK government's secrecy regarding its intelligence agencies' involvement in the CIA's post-9/11 torture program."
"The trials are set to revive old inquiries about the UK's participation in the CIA's global black sites, where terrorism suspects faced extreme torture practices."
