Landmark case on government cover up of MI6 renditions to Libya to begin next month

THE Supreme Court will hear a landmark challenge next month to government attempts to cover up a top MI6 officer’s role in renditions to Libya .
Abdul-Hakim Belhaj and his wife Fatima Boudchar were kidnapped, rendered to Libya and tortured by the CIA with the knowledge and assistance of MI6 in 2004.
The couple are challenging the Director of Public Prosecutions decision not to charge MI6 former counterterrorism chief Sir Mark Allen over his involvement in their ordeal.
