Omar Deghayes on allegations of British collusion in secret detention and rendition

According to a recently published UN report, British security and intelligence officers were often present when British citizens suspected of terrorism, were interrogated by foreign powers.

British resident Omar Degahyes was one of those men mentioned in this damning report. Omar speaks about his experience of rendition and torture. After being detained in Bagram airbase in Kabul, Omar was than taken to Guantanamo Bay where he was held for six years.

Omar explains how he was repeatedly tortured and beaten and lost sight in one eye after an attack by a guard.

Omar is now taking the UK government to court, seeking to establish their involvement in his ordeal.
