that the government has scrapped for 2 year old fuel subsidies i could go as president has temporarily moved the government away from quito the center of the protests to the coastal city of kiev. there are the top stories stay with us if you can al-jazeera world is coming up next life and. on the 10th of may 28th the wife of a libyan politician one time lawyers held up an historic document a letter of apology from the british prime minister the u.k. lost its way when i got mixed up in the rendition of an innocent pregnant woman and an anti kadafi dissident but today i think it stood on the right side of history by recognizing its mistakes and by apologizing. abdo hockey and his wife fatima bouchard had been fighting for 6 years to get the british government to admit it rendered them and handed them over to the regime of moammar gadhafi in 2004 knowing that as libyan dissidents bay would be in serious person danger on behalf of her majesty's government i apologize reservedly we are profoundly sorry for the ordeal that you both suffered and our role in it. this film follows the troubling story of the opponents of gadhafi who were imprisoned tortured and in some cases killed because the u.k. u.s. and other western governments colluded in a web of unlawful rendition. colonel moammar gadhafi was the libyan leader from 1969 to 2011. he was a controversial figure with an ambiguous relationship with the west. his erratic behavior made it easy for the u.s. and europe to portray him as an out of control figure behind terrorist attacks conspiracies and scandals. but there was more to this relationship than was obvious so the time. in 2004 the west suddenly rebranded to get africa from public enemy number one to their new best friend. but all the while gadhafi is intelligence service the cia and the british m i 6 cooperated with each other in ways few suspected at the time. one such case was that of in all shake our lead he said to have run a military camp in afghanistan. he was captured by the pakistanis in afghanistan after the fall of the taliban in 2001 and then handed over to the americans at background air base for interrogation by the f.b.i. . but the cia decided libby was a high ranking al qaeda figure and sent him to egypt to be interrogated. the information he provided under torture may not have been reliable but was nevertheless used by the u.s. to demonstrate a connection between saddam hussein and al qaida to justify the 2003 iraq . around 20052006 ali b. was then handed over by the u.s. to libya in the process known as rendition. in 2009 he was found dead in his prison cell in tripoli after having supposedly committed suicide. humanitarian organizations question the suicide including human rights watch who visited our libya just before his death. a case of even is one of the more disturbing ones because we know that the u.s. rendered him unlawfully in digits in custody and he was tortured brutally both in u.s. and in egypt in custody and the result of that torture produced false intelligence that led. was used as as reason to go to war in iraq and as a result of that war an iraqi you know many civilians iraqi civilians u.s. forces lost their lives. it's disturbing because it's an also proof in evidence that torture doesn't work that it produces a false intelligence on many occasions of any of them on some of the ship was not. a libya was a victim of. collusion between the u.s. the u.k. and libya which dated back to the 911 attacks on new york and washington d.c. . after the libyan revolution in 2011 thousands of secret libyan american and british intelligence documents were found. they painted a dark picture of the real relationship between the 3 countries which led directly to our libby's rendition and torture physician of the. $100.00 over that a. lot of them and you who were yet if it'll be a shia one way bill went away and i left a bit of the makai that. kind of why didn't the enemy look yatim turkey that in a muslim oversight at it i'm attacked from afghanistan. or violent temper philip a shift in libya. you know must. all of the band. that are mostly men. could all be. all. over the shuttle and why. libby's nephew says the torture started in afghanistan but then continued in other prisons around the world in egypt morocco one ton a mowbray alaska and ukraine for 5 years in. the hospital when the early early early at year after the what deeds in efi alabama's been a well being of others. 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 of believed by the egyptian president mubarak i believe what barak told you 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 bedouin gratiot to himself with the west and have sanctions on libya lifted he claimed to have wm deeds and offered to surrender them. with. 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 a valuable data. 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 well british and libyan intelligence officers held a summit over several days at a hotel or some airport in europe and the german an austrian intelligence officer also present and there was a 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 and libya. that was an agreement reached that the british and the libyans will start recruiting agents jointly. 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 krieger 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've 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. 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 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 of. shaikh libby was returned in 2 to maybe 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 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 need no. honey it may. work until our liquor nicol will enter limit or con is only had by then the one i'm sure i'd like to hear. and. then mr darrow this we at america another whom i let him leave out of one bill and we can move the hands of the hubble in up. need tattle it up with what the what that the the man american her father thought it up to what. some well i'm somewhat of a shift in the how would a number economies of the calm or the war when we had a more highly morsel at. one of the bat. 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 on the smell of somebody having to leave your comment the person with the machine and the most about 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 and the 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 you. for that certainly not to be our when he comes to know what was it's and what can be can you look at the fascinating sharp contrast of a year. it's 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 legitimately been 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 glad the good will come up and they. got 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 al qaida. 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. but there was there was that there was this was. a living yeah. although the thought that but at the same time opponents of gadhafi like our door hakim the high 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 we are going to just turn up our. spy and. get most a medal. by then. if they are a must for the total loss by then whether. they are. going to say you know balad. i mean if you have see. hair today. well it myself and i'm also a little my new mom you know. there are limits over that there was a time but if i knew. that when i was a 21 and i'm any. fema part about cook or was used to kind of what i said really and yet broke out and how about a committee. but when dishan had the lead blown off it when in the wake of the libyan revolution in 2011 correspondence was found 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 all 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 can see diminished. bob ross how. do you want to see and walk out of the mood for the true little tiny. sticker shock that are going to turn a man of killing 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 to have to be. i didn't. mean to her country about it. if you. and i could ultimately if you have to worry. out of. our system when and if you. 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 mousavi who said bad. man and. can. finally get out of the nuclear to know. course. and illicitly said libya you can imagine how. many of the have you know either kind of the command of my. hodges fellow dissidents sami most of saadi 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. that. dad. and i are in. on it and well here and i meant i mean i'm. well i'm not by and then you know either can i come in and. work at the i'm in the lead in a kind of. yellow morning. in the alamo and. abdel hakim bell high and sami al saadi were released from prison in libya in 20102011 respectively. convinced of u.k. . involvement in their rendition in 2012 they decided to sue the british government in the civil court for handing them over to the libyans to be imprisoned on torture . the british government is worried about apologising because they feel that if they did that there's a risk the former security service people who were involved in this to be prosecuted in my going to jail. october al-jazeera. as the deadline of october 31st gets closer stay with us for all the ninety's developments on the bricks in. the hot sun will host a new series of

world continues next on back with more news in 25 minutes see that. 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. belle 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 hakim by houghton is why fatima 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 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 if you're on the hoist or. why then. if you have a member atom of us and i want. to freeze and. where and. when i'm in control. she mostly has already work on my washing. the hull too feeble are bound by women that were actually normally 7 cars over to my. mother when i only have you 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. can it all food $1000000.00 an area that it would help us understand how can i let me can what i think isn't as you are well for unseeing well it's only willingly is mr miller who wore. the hat and i bet he flipped the foot on. someone bad then. the one will be in your brain and your family are of up to i need them a pack of 1000000 in and ask about something really really sickly. bit on the card well a bit on the hardest libya obviously. isn't a 1000000 really really kind of open and. one of. the where they had a yemeni right. lisa lee. in the sleeve. she has your holier parted we find most of. us perhaps see that. i want to lift the levy walk and one of our own 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 b.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 16 felt 12 and send them to get out. and i want to sit and then. there was more and more well maybe. they need. the civil cases. and. run side by side but also accepted an offer of compensation by the british government. bell hollows however wanted a fool apology from the government the former foreign secretary and former head of counterintelligence at him why 6 the british government settled that case in december 2012 for 2200000 pounds in the short and what i mean. you. then. easy out all the. way and. the 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 up to how can bill hoge won't accept such a settlement because he wants an apology he's made it clear that he wants he was a bit of good luck to politicize what was going to have and also what was done to his wife mr bahamas for his part his offer 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 apologising 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 one of the even who won and yet to be finance be had the hump but we have to do one. and if you believe this we are going to america all of the. kabul. if this were merely. learning. what followed when you. see that i'm here or in the here if it is proved that british officials did torture anyone whether in the u.k. or broad or involved complicit in their torch head they need to account to 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 a daffy it doesn't 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 free 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 the team. just leave. a little europe about him about if you will. not work as human to sharpen them and you know i would and we walk arm. and there john was a ham a few until i did when in the middle of nashville and when he mark and the most who are there are doctors my god then the men in clue gave them a kind of monopoly of us over that they can the men were only about that that i'm in a muslim. or that will be the. be the commander 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. just in from the. year or say they have them. there's a move for them. 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 and. move them of the who are. human rights words or mine with them and so the 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 am an embodiment of good and have the best that america. and read and then i am and my you know if you can it. at least i'm going to need it and i must be good least i mean you made it a rule of law in this in order to them to do it on the island in a month on the ceiling until the last list of things and if you can it if you do it in cutting it forward can you read any else with a mini back of the faint limbs you know about the maverick with the only. 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. in the summer of 2002 we greatly value the information we have received and what it has about a bullet in the feet it was that. has the feel if he and i can bury them obama meant unfettered what they set off for quite a long time and well how would it not for the better the. well to any techie that would lend us 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 to have a. lie you are a fool and me you must. be. a loony and they're going to cut come to be. within a mile for me to. go to battle with and democrat the influence of learning for that was not to learn of little of what it learned from it. but that journey at azure. in military for. female. when i will hardly be a man if it. according to korea the libyans had information on him that 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 married. to me she has no how . can it be a little thought. about i can't of the botanist see. the feel of the you to him fear of the weather may only you for what they know nothing and those that he and i could not as i wish well implemented in a city and. all the free. food and soft of. gentleman and i and commitments and. you would work. with a sheet of. should work and should be you can. see you wilfully go get this document says that the americans wanted to know whether most of our mohammed clear had any information that might assist the 911 investigation. that mary. had there was a lot that o'mara had a little been going gerty you know and clean it up that any cathedral. where i do. the. work was done what. and most of them knew the contest to be a man who what when where and when cher were in jail but then just last week and out at her. look at the look at that well look the weather was a lot i don't know us but i. asked the canadian security intelligence service to comment on most of our cleaners allegation they replied to say they do not comment publicly on specific cases but they are that 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 canada's safe is consistent with canadian values al-jazeera 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 well that and we don't have much. all. to him at that mark. at that one but. i

10th of may 28th there was a dramatic development. the head of the british government prime 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 majesty's 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 if only you. and i feel if you were to very her. be would be there with your teeth and no woman would have any if it is the fact that there's little. fighting and their lawyers showed the prime minister's 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 recognising its mistakes and by apologizing. it's 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. 996. massacre at abu salim prison. al-jazeera spoke to corey krieger after the british government apology for me the most important moment when the british government apologised and bay was the part of the prime minister's 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 don't 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 that's the end of it but this isn't 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 there's a real moral ethical and legal question for the security services in the u.s. and the u.k. about how closely they're going to fly to abusive security agencies and what the line in the sand is really going to be. the prime minister's apology may have restored the british government's 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 it's worth remembering that not every opponent of the gadhafi regime and victim of
