2003 the u. S. Needed to prepare Public Opinion for the attack getting libya on govt was key to that strategy. But the iraq war when battling for the western allies. No evidence of dangerous weapons was found and the lack of a postwar 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 ds 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. Valuable of the heart. But its 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 repression between the 2 states gathered pace after 911. British intelligence held a meeting with music you said in the week after 911 and the following November November 2000 a well british and libyan Intelligence Officers held a summit over several days at a hotel as an airport in europe and the german and 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 all seek libya. With some agreements which the british of them that into stores recruiting agents jointly. From the libyan agents who would would spy on. The rehabilitation of gadhafi took place under british Prime Minister tony blair and when gordon brown to go over from player in june 2007 the friendly momentum continues and. The london based Human Rights Organization reprieve has closely monitored rendition for many years. Lawyer Corey Krieger specialized in cases involving libya. You remember and the deal in the desert in 2004 is that daffy says oh wow im joining the community of nations everybody was right you know the war on i looked at iraq and you know i dont want to go that way and all the rest of it said 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. Made requests to interview tony blair in 24 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 intel. 6 at the time of the rendition but his office said he didnt have time. Neither was therefore able to shed light on my mission pieces like that of. Shaken libby was returned in 2 to may be in 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 partly comfortable and his family had no reason to suspect he might soon take his own life if you just didnt get them to doesnt mean no. Father when. We come to logic or nickel within their limits or can is only about the want to. Handle. Them mr darrow this we go in america and i hold my let him leave out of the bill and we can learn of the horrible iraq. Will that what the what that the the man america thought of thought it up to her was. Somewhat of a shift in how would a number economy so the cold war the war when we had a war early was a lot. Of. Was over such and was either that or can you some. Hold what are their beliefs and some are saying the problem. The us is said to have 100 over abe no sheikh on libya to the Libyan External Security Organization in afghanistan. And the smell of somebody having to leave your comments to make them a ship in the muscle but then to keep 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 im very much looking forward to. Building on this relationship so mr minister welcome so much here thank god i think thats certainly not to be our when he comes to know what was its and what can be can you look at the full Samantha Scheibe can last of a year. Its difficult and we can. Stated that. Human rights watch asked for an investigation into a suicide but he was birthed 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. Can little rock. Give you. 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 to answer. The western agenda was to establish a connection between Saddam Hussein and al qaeda whereas gadhafi wanted to link libyan dissident groups to walk a. Little less interested in. The new relationship with gadhafi spread and there are allegations that he illegally funded a Nicolas Sarkozys 2007 french president ial 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 eightys image as quote the mad dog of the middle east. But there were there was other that was never our business. At livi 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 is external Security Organization the are going to just are not our. Spy and. It must a matter. By then. They are a must for the total loss by then what are. They are fear they going to say you know balad. I mean if you have seen. Hair ting. Well it myself and a morsel of the man whom you know. Are new in the us over there was you know but if i knew. Then how is it 209. 00 many. Of. Fema part about cook or. Kind of what. You know. And if you see. About rendition had 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 libyas 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 sami 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. To us and we can see diminished. And bob ross how. Do you want. To you know see and walk out of the morgue for the through a little time. Zones have to confront that are going to turn in what you manage to leave the cia took them separated them and held them for several days at a black site thats 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 didnt. Know how country or how do you want to if youre. Going to knock out a multi if you have to worry. Out of. Our system when and if you. Well its 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 musar koussa back. Man and im on. It but i need. To know how often you can to know the number. Of course current. And elysium illicitly or you can imagine how. Many of them have you know either kind of the command of my. Hodges fellow dissidents sami most of.

The British Government in the civil cool for handing them over to the libyans to be imprisoned tortured. The British Government is worried about apologizing because they feel that if they do that theres a risk that former Security Service people who were involved in this to me prosecuted in my going to jail.

They were just 2 of hundreds of gadhafi is 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. Bell hodge and fellow dissidents Sami El Saadi 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 facts is an correspondence between firstly what appeared to be from m i 6 to the libyan authorities notifying them of the presence of the king by houghton is why fatima at that time in malaysia well the government has sent very blank defenses so far basically saying. 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 dont 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 cant 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. Or. Why then. If you have a magna x. Amount of us and i want. To freeze and then i buy a car going to where and. When. She mostly has only to work on my washing. And the whole 2 for bob and family mother to have usually 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 socalled traitors which was given to the americans. At all food meaning. American what i think isnt as well for unseeing well its only willingly and its the money. And. Little to put on. Someone bad then. The lamb will be in your brain. And was about something really really sickly. Based on the card will be eaten the hardest libya obviously. Really kind of open and. One of. Many where they had that a yemeni but. Lisa only. In the sleeve. She has a mini holy they were parted with. And asked for her to see that. 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 in 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 and 12 and sent them to. Poland. I know what i see its 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 some real 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 how mean. You. Out of work to. 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. Wont accept such a settlement because he wants an apology hes made it clear that he wants he wants a bit of good will to politicize what was going to have and also what was done to his wife mr bahamas for his part has 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 thats the real problem the British Government is worried about apologizing because they feel that if they do that theres a risk that former Security Service people who were involved in this kidnapping might be prosecuted in my going to jail and i wanted to live in hawaii and i think if a nurse we have a hump what we have to do one. And if you believe that this we are going to america are all. On board. And if this were mainly i was sceptical we learned in the effort to have a number one of 2 when you cannot tell often we have. To many where we are to then im here well into him if it is proved that british officials did torture anyone whether in the u. K. Or parole board or involved complicit in that or ted they need to be held to account under criminal law in the case im 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 its an incredibly embarrassing case what case could be more embarrassing than british Security Services kidnapping pregnant ladies and sending them back to dictators like adopt it doesnt get any worse for them 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 are sorry for a 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 is hands at a time when we knew that gadhafi was mistreating abusing detainees in custody. Just the manner in an alarm of adultery. Illiterate about him about if you will. Not work as a human to sharpen i want you know i would and we walk arm. And they adjourn was a hammer at all and i did mean in the minute nash i was and when he mark and masood are they are blocking my other than the men on clue gave them a kind of had a monopoly of us over that they can the men. Only about what im 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 year or say they have them. Theres a move for. A couple to hit. With their behavior with the comes ashore can you made it more difficult for the Bush Administration to carry out its program of torture they continued 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 its 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 and. Move them of the who are. Human rights warts or one of them to the with. Aljazeera to the cia to comment on all of these allegations but they did not reply. Theres evidence that it wasnt 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 socalled International Terrorism but that this has never been proved. It is melissa to move. I dont marry more i mean im worried it could have the bus that america will be read then and then i mean why you know if you can at. Least im going to deny most of the good list i mean you made it to the rule of law in this in order to them to do it on the island in the middle name silly. Things and if you can it if you do it in karate for can you read any of the mini acca that aint alums you know about them have. Them. In correspondence between libyan intelligence and the canadians is a letter from the libyan 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 bullet in the feet if it was that. Has the feel of c. And i can bury them obama moment and at their word they set it off for quite a long time and well how would it not for the better the. Well to any techie that would lend you missed any of. These and look around and do it for a limit on. What occurred when i feel sick if you get a. Bucket how early senate thing sort of thing was having. A fool and me. Being. A loony and theyre going to cut come to be. Within a mile for me to. Go to medical and democrat and full of learning for that was going to learn a little of what it. Done for them. But that journey at azure. In military for. Female. Bill in kelly morton well i will hardly be a man if it. According to korea the libyans had information on him but they could only have obtained through collusion with canadian or american intelligence this would again have been at a time when gadhafi was still considered an enemy of the west had in my room a minute mr heel and you coolly she has and how to be a rally for be here. At home and she has. Many little thought. About how can it of the earth and if see. The feel of the you to him fear of the weather may only you for about a no brainer. And a good night as a witch well implemented in the city and. All the free. Food and stuff there for them to look i. Had a little man and i and i met in a mess and. You would work. With a sheet of. Said work and should be you can. See wolf ill go get this document says that the americans wanted to know whether most of our mohamed korea had any information that might assist the 911 investigation. That mary. Had there was a lot that amara had a little been going gertie you know and clean it up that early cathedral. Where i do remember many of. The. Work was done what. And most of them knew the content to be a man who what when where and when cher were in jail but then just last week and. They look at the look at the look at well im ok well there was a lot i dont know us but i. Asked the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to comment on most of her clothes allegation they replied to say they do not comment publicly on specific cases but they added our exchanges with foreign agencies are always guided by a playable law ministerial direction and a robust suite of internal policies all to ensure that c. S. I. S. Is not complicit directly or indirectly in the mistreatment of any individual and that everything we do to keep canadas safe is consistent with canadian values aljazeera came across another case that of abraham we see another libyan opponent of gadhafi this time in our land. He says he was detained for questioning by the irish authorities before the visit of george w. Bush to arm in june 2004 this led to media stories saying he had links to al qaida. But the. Death of them one by the time we dont have met. All. To him and that mark. And that might. Help a little learn the lesson. What am i wrong or want to doria or the commission on it most of what ork of it he said that he offered him a lot he. Can feast officious can be in otoh how many or most or all of the diffusion i had thought that interview with down. America we love the. Or yeah i mean. If it was so close on 30. All boosie is says that none of the charges against him in ireland was ever proved but that he was nevertheless put under house arrest and subject to travel restrictions. On some of the you know they had their ballot. But i thought i thought i love the love so far at least all i need to have back thats my but theres. No executions. Kind of telling me that the numbers are too i mean we have a. Link a lot of old but it was said by really human who look at it. And the message they were offered i think im going to have any i think the stuff that doesnt fit and you make if i am a prophet i am whole american unlit help or talk of getting out of. South oh i hope i move the threshold over talk of the new senate a very kind of has said look i dont know if i can help and not the offer can move the. Aljazeera asked the irish authorities to comment on mr albritton your statement the Justice Ministry replied to say that they do not comment on individual cases they went on to say that given the international lakeshore of threat from jihad this type of terrorism the authorities here work closely on an ongoing basis with their International Counterparts in identifying and managing threats in this area. Different vein the theres a dish best served cold in the 40 years of the hockey. Meanwhile back in the u. K. The. Just as had been turning in the case of our team. On the 10th of may 28th there was a dramatic development. The head of the British GovernmentPrime Minister to resign may sent a letter of apology to bell harsh and his wife fatima and in the British Parliament the Senior Lawyer the attorney general made an announcement. On behalf of her majestys government i apologize reservedly we are profoundly sorry for the ordeal that you both suffered and our role in. The house had been waiting 14 years for this moment so his response was direct you are the one good attorney. And i think if you were to very her. Be would be there was a t. And no one would have any if it is the fact that you had the visual. Fighting and their lawyers showed the Prime Ministers letter of apology to the assembled journalists. The u. K. Lost its way when it got mixed up in the rendition of an innocent pregnant woman and then to get off a dissident but today i think it stood on the right side of history by recognizing its mistakes and by apologizing. Its important to note that although the British Government apologize for rendering the baha g. s to libya former foreign minister jack straw and former head of Counter Intelligence sadam i 6 so mark allen have not admitted personal responsibility or any wrongdoing in the case of bob. And fatima bush. Furthermore in october 20th the former head of libyan intelligence. Publicly denied any complicity in the torture of political detainee. 1900. Massacre at abu salim prison. Aljazeera spoke to Corey Krieger after the British Government apology for me the most important moment when the British Government apologized and may was the part of the Prime Ministers letter where she essentially says we believe you. Abdullah came in fact and i had to relive the absolute bottom the worst moments of their lives for 6 and a half years to fight this case and we know how survivors of torture and abuse like theirs are often silenced and disbelieved so for the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to say in her apology we believe what you have said we believe that the cia and the libyans tortured you that for me it was the most powerful moment i dont think that the apology does totally close the rendition issue altogether for under the human fatuma it does it ends the chapter it ends the case they are satisfied thats the end of it but this isnt just a historical issue anymore is it so for example we know that gina has somebody who is at the very heart of the american torture and Rendition Program has been promoted to be director of the cia now and we also know that all around the world there are still security agencies with which the u. S. And the u. K. Cooperate every day who torture prisoners so right now as we speak in yemen the United Arab Emirates is running black sites in which detainees are tortured and which rape is used as a technique of torture and these are people within the u. S. And the u. K. Is in coalition and so i think that theres a real moral ethical and legal question for the Security Services in the u. S. And the u. K. About how closely theyre going to fly to Abusive Security agencies and what the line in the sand is really going to be. The Prime Ministers apology may have restored the British Governments reputation showing it was willing to try to right previous wrong. About how did not to be for the tenacity of human rights lawyers it may never have been achieved and the same cannot be said of m i 6 and the cia 8 years old from the death of gadhafi its worth remembering that not every opponent of the gadhafi regime and victim of unlawful rendition by western telegin sages has joined the same.

Who have been using sound breeding season using tear gas and rubber bullets theyve also been accused of using live ammunition to disperse the crowd so its been very tense emotions have been very high especially given that heavy handed response from police the dynamics are changing minute by minute it appears here in ecuador its been more than a week of protests at this point on early on friday there were clashes with police that really lasted all the way through the night we could still hear flash bang grenades going off from our from our hotel here in quito that continued today but even ask elated we saw more and more people hundreds of people arriving from different parts of the country its no longer just an Indigenous Movement that is protesting against economic plans as you mentioned austerity measures here in the country its grown into a much Larger Movement encompassing different sectors of society and different demands people are now even calling for the president to resign lauren what do you know about the talks between protesters and the government. The president i dont know it spoke on National Television yesterday saying it calling for a National Dialogue calling on Indigenous Leaders through to come to a negotiating table to find a solution out of the crisis but really at this point it appears as though things have gotten far too out of hand the protesters are no longer as i mentioned only protesting these economic measures up proposed by the government theyre protesting many other things and its different sectors of society that have joined into this and even within the Indigenous Leaders there is a conflict where many of them see that there are unwilling to talk to seem to have lost all confidence in the government so its no longer a question of a curfew settling things or a negotiating table settling things over austerity measures people seem committed to continue to protest until. Short of the president resigning i dont know what will calm peoples hearts and minds here in europe and of thank you very much indeed for that live update there from ecuador.

S. President to mediate between ankara and the kurds have been a reaction to that. Well no reaction as yet that came in a stream of consciousness statement by President Trump in which he was musing about the options the u. S. Has in the light of the turkish invasion in Northern Syria the other options that he raised with the possibility of economic sanctions now this certainly is something that the u. S. Appears to be considering the treasury secretary steve newton said friday that the president had cost the thirtys that would enable him to introduce economic sanctions against turkey at a time that they chose so certainly that is in place should the president weigh into this ongoing dispute the president however making no further indication of what he meant by mediation but clearly as you mentioned turkey would not accept his mediation either mike hanna thank you very much indeed.
