Jacqui Smith & MI5 Face Fresh Torture Allegations

[Horses]

The home secretary Jacqui Smith faces legal action over allegations that MI5 agents colluded in the torture of a British former civil servant by Bangladeshi intelligence officers.

Lawyers for the British man, Jamil Rahman, are to file a damages claim alleging that Smith was complicit in assault, unlawful arrest, false imprisonment and breaches of human rights legislation over his alleged ill-treatment while detained in Bangladesh.

Rahman says that he was the victim of repeated beatings over a period of more than two years. On occasion, he adds, his wife would be held in a nearby cell, and his torturers would threaten to rape her if he did not cooperate.

Its the level of violence in this incident that makes it so shocking, at least the Americans make an effort to try and and make it seem as though they torture humanly (a contradiction in terms or what) but the Brits seem to prefer the old fashioned kind.
