Former attorney general urges more clarity on British spy agencies’ role in Abu Zubaydah’s torture by CIA
Ministers should explain why the UK has paid compensation to a Palestinian man who was tortured by the CIA and is still being held in Guantánamo Bay, according to a former attorney general.
Abu Zubaydah, the first man subject to CIA waterboarding, was reported by the BBC to have been awarded a payment that may amount to hundreds of thousands of pounds because of the role of MI5 and MI6 in his mistreatment.
