UK justices hear detainees' torture appeal

03/08/10: The Associated Press reports that lawyers for six former Guantanamo detainees on Monday appealed a ruling that the British government can use secret evidence to fight a claim that it was complicit in their abuse. The former terror suspects, all British citizens or residents, are suing the government and intelligence agencies over their alleged mistreatment in Afghanistan, Guantanamo and elsewhere. They deny any involvement in terrorism and allege that British spy agencies abetted their unlawful imprisonment and extraordinary rendition to locations around the world where they were tortured.
