30 March 2011 - The UK government has promised an inquiry into past incidents of torture. But its complicity in abusive practices appears to continue, and as the Guardian reports, a recent case suggests that its worst practices have simply been outsourced to Africa.
Omar Awadh is a 38-year-old Kenyan businessman who was forcibly and secretly deported, or rendered, from Nairobi to Kampala, and charged with offences relating to the July 2010 Kampala bombings, where he faces the death penalty if convicted. While in Ugandan detention, Omar Awadh's lawyer says Awadh has been tortured in the presence members of the FBI, and interrogated by members of the UK's MI5 intelligence service, on matters that have nothing to do with the crimes he is accused of.
Omar Awadh's case raises serious concerns that the FBI is running – with British complicity – what is essentially a sort of decentralised, outsourced Guantánamo Bay in Kampala, under the cloak of legitimate criminal process. {continued}
We know the costs in blood, never to totally in civilians, but what of the costs in treasury still not paid! How much to buy the coalition of the willing, how much to buy the CIA rendition and secret prisons globalizing torture, how much for the decades to come as to the results of both wars, more. Neither has been paid for, rubber stamping and rapid deficit rises started Before 9/11 and nothing as to the peoples responsibility, the VA, as to just one of the needs in those results from!
