Decision due on torture charges against MI5 and MI6 | | Crime | 12-01-2012, 10:28 |  0  139 |
| Agents accused over mistreatment of British detainees such as Binyam Mohamed, who ended up in Guantánamo Bay, informs the Guardian.
British spies are expected to find out whether they will face charges over their alleged complicity in the torture of terror suspects.
Several MI5 and MI6 agents are understood to be at the centre of criminal investigations into the treatment of former detainees including UK resident Binyam Mohamed. Prisoners at Guantánamo Bay have claimed British security and intelligence officials colluded in their torture and abuse.
The Crown Prosecution Service will issue a statement on Thursday "announcing a number of decisions in relation to the investigations into the alleged ill treatment of detainees". The announcement comes after human rights campaigners condemned the US government's failure to close Guantánamo, 10 years after the arrival of its first inmates.
An inquiry into British complicity in torture and rendition is expected to begin after the police investigation delivers its report.
The foreign secretary, William Hague, has said the government is committed to "drawing a line" under the alleged involvement of intelligence agencies in the torture of terror suspects held overseas.
But human rights groups and lawyers are refusing to give evidence or attend any meetings with the inquiry team, saying it does not have credibility or transparency.
