Reprieve announced today that we would not be taking part in the government’s inquiry into collusion in torture and rendition by British security services.
Along with a coalition of 10 leading human rights organisations, including Amnesty, Liberty and Human Rights Watch, we’ve decided that the way the detainee inquiry is set up means that it will simply not be able to get to the bottom of the allegations that our country has been involved in some of the horrific abuses that have been taking place in the name of the “war on terror”.
