UK role in “rendition” illegal and immoral
Commenting on reports of increased use of UK airports by American aircraft engaged in “rendition” of people to countries where torture is permitted, Sir Menzies Campbell MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Foreign Secretary, said:
“So-called ‘rendition’ is illegal and immoral.
The UK should not facilitate the transfer of individuals from countries where torture is illegal to countries where it is permissible.
We should have no part of that.”
