British resident and former inmate of the infamous Gunatanamo Bay terror detention centre, Binyam Mohamed, claims he endured brutal torture in the time before he was moved to the prison camp in Cuba.
One-time computer and engineering student, Mohamed returned to the UK on Monday after 7 years at the CIA-run camp.
In a statement to the press, he said intended to hold the people he deems responsible for his alleged torture to account. Part of his statement read: “I am not asking for vengeance; only that the truth should be made known so that nobody in the future should have to endure what I have endured.”
Opposition parties have since joined human rights groups in calling on the government to shed light on the role British security agents played in Mohamed's interrogation and alleged torture, before he was incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay.
