Secret Evidence Not Allowed0

Law Lords have ruled that the Government will not be allowed to present evidence in secret in the trial where MI5 officers are accused of knowing about the torture of suspected terrorists.In the trial where six former Guantanomo Bay detainees have been fighting the defence have been told by the Appeal Court that the evidence will be heard in public overturning the High Court ruling last year that would have allowed MI5 to present secret evidence to support their claim that they were not complicit in the unlawful detention and torture of detainees. in secret.

I think that this is probably an important ruling, notwithstanding any national security concerns, the public needs to know that as the Prime Minister Gordon Brown has previously stated we have not participated in the torture of detainees. The trust in MP’s has been eroded significantly over the past 18 months. The trust in our secret service has not suffered the same degree of degradation, however with denials and retractions about rendition flights from the UK, we need to be sure that they are in fact true to their word.
