The @AfghanUKAFInq has published letters regarding the MoD’s failure to meet evidential deadlines and allocate adequate resources: “This is unacceptable.” The MoD’s proposals to remedy this will still delay the Inquiry’s hearings by at least 7-8 months. unredacted.uk/dcviewer.php?d…

We've only gone and launched! unredacted.uk @unredacted_uk It's been years in the chatting... hopefully a much-needed space for primary documents and analysis in relation to UK national security and human rights. We have 1000s docs, all fully searchable.... enjoy!
Key question still outstanding - what role did the UK play in Mr al-Hawsawi's torture? The Investigatory Powers Tribunal has now opened an investigation - let's see what comes of it.... (the pesky truth can't hide forever) @harryfoxdavies @REDRESSTrust

A key judgment at the ECtHR today - Lithuania complicit in the CIA's kidnap, secret detention and torture of Mr al-Hawsawi (still held at Guantanamo, >20yrs after his disappearance into global torture prog). In the face of ongoing govt secrecy/denial, this is a v imp victory.
