continued in other prisons around the world egypt morocco guantanamo bay alaska and ukraine for 5 years in. the hassle when the highly highly highly actually laughed at the what deeds in the alarmist over been up or being upset that see. mostly subtle but. let's look at akira libby's information about so-called weapons of mass destruction is widely thought to have been used by the u.s. as evidence of saddam hussein's possession of w m d's in iraq one less thing you pointed out that you were warned i believe by the egyptian president mubarak i believe the barak told the tommy tommy franks that saddam had biological weapons they were ready yeah but everybody thought they had the international community has clearly demonstrated that it is fed up why is it

that a process which has been going on for 12 years trying to disarm iraq from its weapons of mass destruction this report by libyan intelligence the external security organization or so shows details of a meeting with the cia. as it plans to invade saddam hussein's iraq in 2003 the u.s. needed to prepare public opinion for the attack getting libya on govt is key to that strategy. but the iraq war went badly for the western allies. no evidence of dangerous weapons was found and the lack of a post-war strategy plunged the country into calles. gadhafi then seized the moment in a dramatic bid to ingratiate himself with the west and have sanctions on libya

lifted he claimed to have w m d's and offered to surrender them. desperate to put a positive spin on their mission to destroy weapons in the middle east the u.s. and u.k. led the way in rehabilitating gadhafi almost overnight. libya was no longer. part of the axis of evil. in return a lucrative oil and gas deal was signed and it was then that the cia and m i 6 began increasing their rendition of libyan dissidents to the gadhafi regime. in a vehicle that out of a 0. for the value of the home. but it's now thought the relationship between the head of the e.s.o. . and western intelligence went back much earlier than the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of iraq the problem between the 2 states gathered pace after 911.

british intelligence held a meeting with mr koussa in the week after 911 and the following november november 2000 a while british and libyan intelligence officers held a summit over several days at a hotel or some airport in europe and the german austrian intelligence officers also present and there was a growing agreement at that point that the libyans could be quite useful to the west being useful to the west was what gadhafi was aiming for and the west fell for it but at a price rendition. this 2012 human rights watch report delivers into enemy hands details the process and several cases including that in our sake on libya. that was an agreement reached that the british

and the libyans will start recruiting agents jointly. and from the libyan agents who would would help and spy on al qaida. the rehabilitation of gadhafi took place under british prime minister tony blair. 20 gordon brown to go over from blair in june 2007 the friendly momentum continues and. the london based human rights organization reprieve has closely monitored rendition for many years. lawyer corey creator specialized in cases involving libya. you remember and the deal in the desert in 2004 is that davi says oh well i'm joining the community of nations everybody was right you know the war on i looked at iraq and you know i don't want to go that way and all the rest of it so this president has given to him but the reality is of course what happened after that

the sanctions were lifted british petroleum and other companies were able to come in and start doing business to the tune of millions in fact billions of dollars i'll just 0 made request to interview tony blair in $24.00 team but his office said he was not available. the producers also asked to interview former british foreign minister jack straw who was responsible for british intelligence 6 at the time of the rendition but his office said he didn't have time. neither was therefore able to shed light on when dishan cases like that. shake out libby was returned in 2 to libyan custody and. you know we met him 2 weeks before he supposedly kit committed suicide in his cell. and when that happened we raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding his death. we were concerned that it was not actually

a suicide libby was allowed a single visit from his family in april 2009 while in libyan detention this video shows him opponent lee comfortable and his family had. no reason to suspect he might soon take his own life. if you should injured injured in the desert and me 9 . 100. will. work until our liquor nicol will enter them but our country's army had better and the one i'm sure i'd like to hear. then mr darrow this we at. another home i let him leave our one bill and we can move the land of the hubble in up. with what the what that the i'm an american or have to who are some well i'm somewhere out of the ship how

would a number economy more than war when we had a more highly was a lot. of of. was over such and coupled with either that or can you some mrs novella. hold what are their beliefs and some a signal that. the u.s. is said to have 100 over abe no sheikh on libya to the libyan external security organization in afghanistan. but i think the smell of somebody in the libyan government bursting within the ship and maybe most of them to keep them in may 2009 libby was found dead in his prison cell only 2 days after that gadhafi was 4th son want to seem acting as libyan national security adviser u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton in washington d.c. we deeply value the relationship between the united states and libya

we have many opportunities to deepen and broaden our cooperation and i'm very much looking forward to. building on this relationship so mr minister welcome so much here thank you we don't like that but that's certainly not to be our when he comes to know what was it's and what can be can you look at a fascinator shab can last a year. it's difficult and we can. stated that. human rights watch asked for an investigation into libby's suicide but he was berg and no libyan inquiry was held into his death. so the photographs are very disturbing when reportedly committed suicide in may be in prison and we question whether that was really a suicide and the photographs reveal things that make it seem as though you know

that might not have the get him in the bin a suicide. gadhafi never allowed any form of opposition within libya. a prominent dissident group was the libyan islamic fighting group the l i f g who gadhafi accused of having links to al qaida. very little rock. give you one hell of. the. yeah gladly will help. that gadhafi is jails had an appalling reputation for mistreatment and torture particularly of political prisoners this mobile phone video purports to have been shot in abu salim prison in tripoli. human rights watch and amnesty international have both reported hundreds of deaths in abu salim although the figures have never

been independently verified or human remains found if western intelligence services knowingly colluded in the torture of libyan dissidents in this way they certainly have a case towards. the western agenda was to establish a connection between saddam hussein and al qaeda whereas gadhafi wanted to link libyan dissident groups to market. illiteracy in. the new relationship with gadhafi spread and there are allegations that he illegally funded a nicolas sarkozy's 2007 french presidential campaign sarkozy has been charged with illegal campaign financing he denies the charges and the case is yet to reach the french courts gadaffi was welcomed across europe a far cry from his eighty's image as quote the mad dog of the middle east.

that was our that was never our business. a living yeah i said mother thought that but at the same time opponents of gadhafi like our door hakim behind and sami al side of the libya islamic fighting group l i f g were arrested and rendered by british intelligence m i 6 to gadhafi external security organization we are going to just turn up our. supply and. by then. they are a must for the whole total loss but then what are. they or feel they want to say you know balad. i mean if you have seen. well it myself and

a morsel of the man whom you know so far. there are limits over to i was you know but if i knew. that and i was a 209 many county about. fema part about cook or. kind of what took a season and certainly in your. image if you see. about rendition have the lid blown off it when in the wake of the libyan revolution in 2011 correspondence was phoned the pointed to western collusion. in 2011 after tripoli was liberated some human rights activists and some revolutionaries found an incredible cache of documents in what appeared to be the abandoned office of then the head of libya's security services and in those documents for the 1st time ever we saw evidence showing that there was a joint plot in 2004 to kidnap. him and his

pregnant wife as well as the libyan man semi or saudi his wife and his 4 children from exile in southeast asia and render them in other words kidnap them and send them back to that. and we could see diminished. and bob ross how. zosia to you. see and walk into and out of the morgue for the through the little time. zones have to confront are going to turn and why and then you manage to leave the cia took them separated them and held them for several days at a black site that's a secret prison near the bangkok airport both of them were chained to the wall separately mistreated was beaten hooded all the rest of it and then they were put on a infamous cia rendition plane one of these planes that the cia flew people around the world to be tortured on the have to be. i didn't. know how country or how do

you want to if you're. going to knock it out i'm not. out of. the women if you park you know. well it's no. great arrive in any. case of abdel hakim bahaji and his wife goes back to 2004 the couple were planning to seek asylum in the u.k. but they were persuaded by the british to travel to london via by call. there they were arrested and tortured before being rendered to libyan intelligence headed by mustafa back. and. currently out of the need to know and i. suppose karen who look at that.

and elysium illicitly or you can imagine how. many of the have you know either kind of the command of my. hodge's fellow dissidents sami most of our society also says he was rendered to the libyans by the british on the grounds that he was somehow connected to the group responsible for $911.00 al qaida. dad. can and was. in. on it and well here and i lament i mean i'm. well i'm not by anything you know by their kind are the men and. what kathy and i mean the lady in a kind of. yellow moon in. the morning we had enough and i went to. abdel

hakim bell harsh and sami al saadi were released from prison in libya in 20102011 respectively. convinced of u.k. . in involvement in the rendition in 2012 they decided to sue the british government in the civil court for handing them over to the libyans to be imprisoned and tortured. the british government is worried about apologising because they feel that if they did that there's a risk that former security service people who were involved in this to knapping might be prosecuted in my going to jail. then say to really know someone you must walk a mile in their shoes. follow in their footsteps as they forge their way in the world. al-jazeera shares these personal journeys.

of the army i have seen here on the streets right behind the police riot police they too are armed with that with riot gear and this is significant because the armed forces has just put out a communique saying that it will not take responsibility for any consequences that may occur in the line of their duty to preserve public order and they say that the only ones responsible for these consequences would be those especially the leaders of the groups that are calling for social unrest and this is again very very significant but it's also a demonstration that the armed forces continues to back the besieged president leonine what in. and finally an american scientists who identified one of the key materials and rechargeable batteries has become the oldest nobel laureate in history 97 year old john d. good enough discovered lithium cobalt oxide is a useful material back in 1979 he'll be sharing the prize with russians and stanley

washington and japan's a key to your shino well those are the headlines al jazeera wools continues next. in may 28th a libyan politician and his wife received a full apology from the british government for having been rendered handed over by m i 6 to the gadhafi regime where they were presumed tortured. they were just 2 of hundreds of gadhafi as opponents who were picked up abroad and handed over in a collusion between western intelligence and the libyan beginning at a time when gadhafi was supposed to be an enemy of the west. well hodge and fellow dissidents samuelsson sues the british government in 2012 they were represented by human rights lawyers in london interviewed here in 2050

where the case was still going on well the key documents that we saw where what appeared to be faxes and correspondence between firstly what appeared to be from m i 6 to the libyan authorities notifying them of the presence of abdul who came by how to his wife fatima at that time in malaysia well the government has sent very blank defenses so far basically saying ignited tonight the events even those events that is supported by the documentation and what they have instead done is try to get the case struck out of course by saying that because the allegations involve the u.s. and other states in libya malaysia. that it would be the cause here don't have jurisdiction to deal with it that it would be wrong because he possibly

criticized the actions of other states at 1st the u.k. government basically said you can't hear these cases at all here in britain because it will harm our relationship with the united states the americans will be terribly upset about it and so forth about it in fear of the hoist or. why then. if you have a magna x. amount of us and i want. to freeze and then i buy a car where and. when. she mostly has only to work on my washing. and the help of a blob of family mother to her she normally 7 cars over to my. mother when i only have. one of the thousands of papers found after the revolution in 2011 was this one marked top secret it refers to libya u.s.

cooperation and to a list of names of so-called traitors which was given to the americans. at all food many. american what i think isn't as well for unseeing well it's only willingly and it's the money. and. political effort on. someone about then. the number to be in your brain and your family. and was about something really really sickly a. bit on the card well a bit on the hardest libya obviously. one of. where they had a yemeni right. lisa early.

in the scheme. she has the whole of the recorded when we finally. see the 30. i want to lift the lid. was. one of the most significant finds in tripoli was a letter written by so mark allen then head of counterintelligence at m i 6 march 2004 to the head of the libyan p.s.o. . it says quote i congratulate you on the safe arrival of. meaning. this was the least we could do for you and for libya to demonstrate the remarkable relationship we have built over the years i am so glad that the british security services the cia and the libyan kidnapped

children between the ages of $6.12 and send them to. and i want to say it's you know what and the. one. that i was born on more than me well maybe. what they need. the civil cases are vaudeville hockey and something else saadi run side by side but also already accepted an offer of compensation by the british government bell harsh however wanted a full apology from the government the former foreign secretary and former head of counterintelligence at m i 6 the british government settled that case in december 2012 for 2200000 pounds initial written my home in. then. out of the. well and.

so i think that we know really what the truth is here and that the british government knows that it has a case to answer. won't accept such a settlement because he wants an apology he's made it clear that he wants he wants but he could not to politicize what was going to have and also what was done to his wife mr bahamas for his part he's offered to drive his case and walk away from his civil court case for just 3 pounds one from some our calendar one from jack straw and one from the government and an apology and that's the real problem the british government is worried about apologizing because they feel that if they do that there's a risk that former security service people who were involved in this kidnapping might be prosecuted and might go to jail and not one of the even who are and yet if a nurse we have a hunch but we have to do one. and if you believe that this we are going to america are all called the. couple will be. this year many year i was 7 when we

learned. to have a number 102 when you're going to knock out the thought often we have. too many where we are too that i'm here went to him if it is proved that british officials did torture anyone whether in the u.k. or parole board or involved complicit in that torch head they need to be held to account under criminal law in the case i'm actually pretty confident that the supreme court of britain is going to say that of course torture victims have to have their day in court but the reality is the government will always seek to delay it's an incredibly embarrassing case what case could be more embarrassing than british security services kidnapping pregnant ladies and sending them back to dictators like it off it doesn't get any worse for them 3 while the british government settled with something else saudi the us government appears so far to have ignored the whole rendition issue even though papers discovered in 2011 point

clearly to their involvement. according to human rights watch documents show that the cia kidnapped khaled our saif and most of our marketing and rendered them to the libyans the men say they were detained and interrogated in afghanistan for over a year. the documents that were from we found in the libyan intelligence ministry were very troubling they showed a level of cooperation between the united states the united kingdom and the cia in their rendition of a number unlawful rendition of a number of individuals who were enemies of gadhafi back to libya it shows a deep level of collusion between the u.s. and the u.k. and libya it rendering individuals into gadhafi as hands at a time when we knew that gadhafi was mistreating abusing detainees in custody you saw our team. just the man in an alarm or does he.

live europe about you know about if you will. not work as human a shark never used you know i would and we walk arm. and they. are till i did mean in the middle of nashville and when he american would are they are blocking my car then the man on clue gave them a kind of had a monopoly of us over that they can the men. only about that i'm in a muslim. or by the way that has either come out of the united states believes and promotes itself as a country that believes in the rule of law and abides by its international legal obligations but we know for a fact that the u.s. has not done so in many cases especially with regards to its detention practices. in. the war say that them. there's

a move afoot. to hit back at more. with their behavior with the comes ashore can made it more difficult for the bush administration to carry out its program of torture they continue to do so but in a different kind of way. and since. the president obama took office he did ban the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and actually has called the practices that occurred during the cia torture program torture the u.s. unlawfully rendered numerous individuals into libyan custody where they knew that they were going to be. they were going to be likely tortured and abused but in addition before they even did that they held several of them in cia detention and tortured them brutally themselves so yes it's a double standard and a double standard that the u.s. absolutely has to account for if it ever wants to put this dark chapter in its

history behind it and the muslim in america. and the meticulous in the judgment of the mother who are. human rights words or one of them to do with. al-jazeera to the cia to comment on all of these allegations but they did not reply. there's evidence that it wasn't just british and american intelligence who colluded with the libyans canada may have also been involved most of a korea a canadian citizen of libyan descent says he was tracked kidnapped and rendered to libyan intelligence he says he was accused of having links with so-called international terrorism but that this has never been proved. it is melissa to move. yanni it i don't marry more i'm an

embodiment of good and have the best that america a colony and read then and then i am and why you know if you can it. at least i'm going to deny most of the good list i mean he made it a rule of law in the us in order to them to do it on the island in the middle names italy today let's list that has at the names and a very kind of if you know it in court or you can you read in your hood mini acca the faint allusion about the maverick with the other. candidate in correspondence between libyan intelligence and the canadians is a letter from the libyans saying thank you for the information about the arrest of the canadian citizen most of our mohammad korea otherwise known as father of the ally f.g. and the summer of 2002 we greatly value the information we have received on it and what it has about a bit in the future if it was to.
